Barenaked Ladies TV interview on DRM


Barenaked Ladies frontmen Steve Page and Ed Robertson did an appearance on CBC TV's The Hour yesterday in which they wittily and sensibly explained their position on DRM, explaining that fans don't want to buy music that they can't use as they see fit, and that as entrepreneurs, they have to sell what fans want to buy. It's a great interview (they also talk about their novel approach to environmentalism on tour, and life as an indie) from a great band.
