The Death of Digitial Rights Management?

According to a recent Wired article, Sony BMG, a major purveyor of music, has decided to abandon its attempts end music piracy through stringent use of DRM. We've all faced it before...can't transfer our music, can't access our music, can't play protected songs on our car stereos. This move will undermine iTunes stranglehold on legitimate downloads and give users more alternatives.

Ramifications for the video game industry? Unclear.
