It looks like the last of the big DRM players (Sony-BMG) is joining in with the rest of the kids and scrapping DRM. I really don’t think they’ve been won over to the freedom of DRM free music, but rather, the capitalism of DRM-free music. As with vinyl, 8-tracks, tapes, and CDs before, we now have a collection of DRM’d audio which is effectively the latest legacy audio format. Now, they’re going to get us to all buy all of our lovely music yet again!
Dammit, this is the last time! As far as I can tell anyway…until they figure out how to make analog quality digital music.
Bah, I’m not having any of it. Long live the subscription!
