Here's the "two steps back" part of the "one step forward" thing for the record labels: crippled music access for your mobile phone. Via Mathew Ingram:

In any case, I think the hoopla about Comes With Music is misplaced, for a number of reasons — but the biggest is the fact that the music streaming through those Nokia handsets will still be effectively crippled or handcuffed in some of the usual ways. While users will be able to download the songs to a PC, and (in what I admit is a fairly revolutionary move) will be able to continue listening to them after the year-long deal is over, they won’t be able to burn them to a CD without paying extra, and won’t be able to move them to a portable player at all.

Why would I want that instead of my iPod? Just how stupid does the RIAA think I am?
