Finally, No More DRM
Monday, April 2, 2007 at 15:52
EMI has discovered that DRM is hater by most of the consumer market, and therefor will release their music with the hated DRM.
Now it's waiting for the other big players in the music industry (Sony, and Universal).
Apple's iTunes will be the first to offer these unrestricted downloads. Note that the new downloads are a bit more expensive, but this includes much better quality (256kbps AAC versus 128kbps AAC).
The older versions (with DRM) will still be available, but are also 30 cents cheaper (99 cents versus 1.29). If you have purchased DRM protected songs (released by EMI),you can 'upgrade' them for a lousy 30 cents a song.
