Cool news--I wonder how EMI looking to be taken over will affect DRM
submitted by DrFitz about 1 year ago
Seeing as the other majors aren’t following its lead, I wonder how EMI’s leadership in ditching DRM with iTunes and presumably Amazon will play out if they’re looking to be taken over by one of the other majors?
Makes sense

Makes sense most music is sold without drm: ie, on CDs.
