DRM 'protected' files will probably lead to an increase in illegal downloads.
I'm frankly against copy protection in music, films, etc- the people it does interfere with are the ones who try to do things legally*.
I buy all of my music, with the exception of downloads offered on websites by the bands themselves- and those only when there is no album available with it on.

*- Okay, so it inconveniences those who don't want to buy the thing but lack the wits to find a way or tool to bypass the protection. But who gives a shit about them?
