Once the word got out, Sony risked people voting with their feet. A draconian solution like the one they were using only works if people don't have another choice. When people learned about it, it became a consumer issue. Very few people are so attached to a single artist that they couldn't weigh the alternatives and choose an unprotected CD by a different artist.

Wait until the artists start suing Sony for having crippled their sales because of this.
