The only way to stop this is to abolish copyright.
The only way to enforce copyright in the 21st century is to destroy computing freedom. I'd rather sacrifice the entire copyright industry than have computers that only run software they approve.

> every song from Amazon MP3 is DRM-free and encoded in high-quality 256-kbps MP3 format. This means that they will play on any MP3 player, so you don't need to worry about file format compatibility or licenses that expire.
A business model for one thing does not generalize.
Sell things for money generalized pretty well in basically every other field. It actually generalized pretty well in video too. This is just adding "remove the DRM". It'll be fine once all the old studio execs retire...
Let's start with the most obvious: "sell things for money" hasn't worked out that well in music. Streaming services (with DRM) are 83% of revenue in the music industry now: https://www.businessofbusiness.com/articles/vinyl-record-sal...
The price of music is dramatically lower. Its consumption model is entirely different - a song may be played dozens of times on a radio station or a streaming platform, each performance for pennies. Video, on the other hand, is predominately a single-shot mechanism. There's enough new content that almost no customers will watch the same piece of video multiple times. You have to make back all of your revenue in that initial purchase. Combined with higher production costs, you need higher prices. You also need a guarantee people will have to pay those prices to justify the investment and even begin the process. DRM is such a guarantee.
Second, the price is identical. Streaming providers charge $10/month (or very close to it) regardless of what the content is. Also, albums when new are $10-$20, and movies new are $10-$20.
Did you not see the name in the link? More to the point, can you point me to a major music store which does use DRM? I'm not aware of one. Perhaps you've been pirating music so long you missed the shift? It happened around 2009.
Here's an article from 2014 about the steps to remove DRM from your pre-2009 library. Tl;Dr, delete and redownload from Apple, no DRM! This is Apple's recommended approach.
In any case, I don't listen to music very often. When I want to listen to something, I just look up specific songs on YouTube. I never cared enough to "pirate" music but I can tell you that the quality of "pirated" music is orders of magnitude higher than whatever is sold by Amazon. The people in those communities go to truly incredible lengths to ensure they have the highest quality audio possible. Companies generally just want to push out a release for the lowest possible cost.
I care more about films, series, video games and software in general. You'll find that in those categories DRM is the rule.
