I can't follow the link from Digg, but it sounds like artists are starting to get annoyed with Sony - likely because of damage to their sales. There was a piece on this in the NYT a week or so ago (sadly, the Times has now tossed it behind a pay wall) - if the entire DRM idea gets tarred by Sony's missteps, all the better. In the end, the artists are the ones who take the biggest hit when people stop buying CD's from a specific label.
