Are you seriously thinking that the 'solution' to this is just a localized user friendly website?

What do you make of the content that Apple has made available through iTunes?

Yes, I give Apple full credit for being devio^H^H^H^H^H smart enough as the fat capitalistic bast^H^H^H broker right in the middle of the biggest online content store.

What does that mean? That means if you're not a f**king pirate, it's the most convenient way of getting online content for your mobile device in this world right now.

And the flipside? It's probably the most viable way for content providers (Yes: musicians, artists, etc) to share and capitalize on their products in the market as well.

Controlling and profiteering from both end of the spectrum, while (and due to) giving benefits from all parties involved is what Apple has been doing right in this capitalistic market.

PS: DRM sucks from end user's perspective, but try putting yourself in the artist's perspective as well. While we don't have a better solution in the market yet to protect their IP, that seems to be the only viable compromise to bring legit contents to the market right now.
