Yahoo's Ian Rogers Big Ups Amazon MP3 Store

Michael Arrington has a great post on the perspective of Yahoo Music VP of Product Development Ian Rogers who points out that the music industry has forced Yahoo! to create unpleasant consumer experiences.

His disregard for DRM even leads him to describe his great experience at Amazon's new DRM-free MP3 store in comparison to what consumers experience at Yahoo!.

But here's the best part:
I won’t let Yahoo! invest any more money in consumer inconvenience. I will tell Yahoo! to give the money they were going to give me to build awesome media applications to Yahoo! Mail or Answers or some other deserving endeavor. I personally don’t have any more time to give and can’t bear to see any more money spent on pathetic attempts for control instead of building consumer value. Life’s too short. I want to delight consumers, not bum them out.

Here's Ian Rogers post that includes his presentation.
