The Linn article is a good read. I'm sure they've got their own agenda (not wanting a rival to be so powerful and wealthy no doubt), but I do agree with pretty much all of it.
I guess the one thing it doesn't touch on, is the reason the labels probably aren't so keen on sending high res masters out to the world using free currently available open source technology, is that it will all most likely get ripped off and they won't get paid.
Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Right now that partly depends on there being more MQA capable DACs than you can count on four fingers.....
