first of all, DRM is a scourge and needs to be eliminated. Anything that stops my legal fair use needs to be eliminated.But also, 256 AAC is better than the best MP3 bitrate... and 320k mp3s are perfectly enjoyable on my desktop system, made better by a good non-os DAC... I wouldn't be doing critical listening with mp3s, but the convenience is nice for casual listening.
What I am saying is that today we have 256kbs AAC files, tomorrow we will get FLAC or completely uncompressed. Most americans on broadband only have about 1mb of usable downlink on average... but as this average increases, so will the file size that is tollarable for the average guy to download.
I would not be too critical of this move, because we need this to be on the road to eliminating DRM and to also eventually have those non-lossy formats someday. The record companies need to see that DRM only makes their product worse.
