Quote of the Day [2]: Ian Rogers


"8 years. How much opportunity have we lost in those 8 years? How much naivety and hubris did we have when we said, 'if we build it they will come'? What did we spend? And what did we gain? We certainly didn’t gain mass user adoption or trust, two prerequisites to success on the Internet."

- Ian Rogers, Yahoo! Music's GM, quoted in this EFF article on the continual retarded, and self-defeating, policy of DRM.

Also, fantastic commentary by my good friend and colleague Alex Eckelberry at Sunbelt Software on this same topic, singing Ian Rogers' praise as a new hero.
