People still buy CDs for some things. However, this gets into what's called the "long tail", or the idea that the Internet provides unlimited (or close enough for most cases) distribution ability. You don't need to worry about whether Wal-Mart has your favorite (obscure) band's new disk, you don't have to leave your house to get the music, and without DRM, you wouldn't have to spend time configuring and ripping the music for your digital device. We have the first two down with things like iTunes, but people are so used to the third (doing what they want with something they paid money for) that they want it back.
