We believe that most people like to be treated as customers and not potential criminals

Warp Records, the label for Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Boards of Canada, is using a digital download service called Bleep, which features this very sensible bit of FAQqery:

Bleep music has no DRM or copy protection built in. We believe that most people like to be treated as customers and not potential criminals – DRM is easily circumvented and just puts obstacles in the way of enjoying music. Apple has even privately stated that they decided to use a weak form of DRM solely to get major labels onboard.
