Is DRM the best way to save the music industry?

Digital Rights Management is a way of protecting the copyrights of both music and film.
Today’s society is full of people ‘file sharing’, or perhaps more bluntly put, illegal downloading for free. This is problematic for the music industry because it means they are not receiving money for the purchase of a song.
Music downloads protected by DRM means that you have to pay for the download, and it can only be then passed on to a limited amount of people. This creates a solution to the problem of music (and film) piracy, and would keep both record companies and artists in profit as it may make more people to buy music.
However, although DRM’s are there to stop illegal downloading, there are still many ways to get tracks without having to pay. This proves the disadvantage to DRM’s because it may result in less people buying music, and regulations such as those put in place by i tunes having to be altered. Whilst music can still be downloaded for free, DRM will never have total control of the industry.
