Labels and artists get paid for every radio play and every Yahoo! Music download to the Sansa Connect, whereas we all know iPods are mostly full of not-paid-for MP3s. At Yahoo! would like to help maintain a healthy music business, compensating labels and artists at a fair price to consumers. The labels and the consumers have been pretty far apart in this negotiation and we think we’re doing a damn fine job striking a balance between the two with the rich feature set Sansa Connect and reasonable monthly price of Yahoo!

They stated that it is viewed as a tax, and estimated that there would need to be a 15-20% price difference to reach equilibrium between the two options. (They also had some good insights on how it is often not the labels themselves that want DRM, but their corporate parents.)

The forty minute podcast is up at TalkCrunch. While they don’t quite agree that DRM’s demise is inevitable, they do have valuable insights as music insiders as to what may happen in the short term. One interesting prediction that Goldberg made is that we might see DRM and DRM-free tracks being sold side by side, with DRM music sold at a discount. I think that the general availability of illegal and quasi-legal alternatives may not allow that market to develop, but we’ll see. They also predict the rise of music subscription services.
