DRM benefits the broadcaster not the listener.


I bet a lot of listeners to, e.g., satellite radio in the U.S. and Europe
would disagree with the assessment that digital radio doesn't benefit the
listener.

But you do have to keep in mind that companies exist to make a profit.
Unless you'd advocate that only governments should have broadcast rights,
the market will insure that people 'get what they want' when it comes to
broadcasts -- even if that does imply that the content is crap relative to
what you or I might desire.
