Is DRM the best way to save music industry?

Digital rights management was set up to protect copyrights and to prevent illegal copying of music, film and publishing. Its main purpose was to prevent companies from loosing profits; also to save music industry from intellectual fraud and to save artists from loosing money from their records. DRM has tried to make piracy impossible by adding security but ended up causing a lot of trouble for average listeners by creating incompatibility in audio CDs. In my opinion, it has been beneficial for record labels but in the longer run, I don't think it can save music industry from illegal file distribution. Although iTunes has proven to be a great success, competing sites like Napster and Limewire are almost just as popular. Internet is full of sites where people can remove DRM protection. With more and more music listeners using iPods and other mp3 players it has been inevitable for people to change into downloading music instead of buying CDs and vinyls. By making people pay for their files, music industry has managed to make some profit of digital music but at the same time they have tried to stop the greatest purpose of internet; free information. It -pirates will always be one step ahead of the industry, DRM can only slow down the process.
