P2P software is a growing concern to the music industry, who are finding it hard to sell CDs when people are getting the songs illegally for free. In an effort to stay ahead, the record industry has started to use something called “Dodgy Restrictions on Music”, or DRM. To combat music piracy, Sony has started adding DRM software to audio CDs which it sells, for example to the new CD from Canadian Rockers RootKit, recently published by Sony Music.

To combat music piracy, Sony has started adding DRM software to audio CDs which it sells, for example to the new CD from Canadian Rockers RootKit, recently published by Sony Music. DRM is a new feature introduced by the recording industry to discourage people from buying CDs and encourage them to download them illegally instead. Some suspect the intent is to encourage customers to fall into the habit of using file sharing networks so that the RIAA members can then sue their customers (using money originally from CD sales), thereby increasing their revenue.
