Steve Jobs' Apple fought for it. They leveraged iPod dominance to force the industry to swallow lawful ripping through iTunes, then 128kbps Internet download with infinite re-download rights and weak FairPlay DRM, then 256kbps without DRM few years later. The industry resisted with everything and lost, in the process road-killing Sony Walkman brand as well. The music world wasn't a paradise from the beginning and by itself.
