Music set free


Great to see EMI have decided to ditch copy protection from their digital music files.

Not so great to see that EMI tracks at the iTunes Store will now cost 30% more.

Wonder if they’ll start offering buyers a choice of formats?

It’d be like back in the days before Napster, only rather than choosing between LP, CD or Cassette, you choose between DRM or Unprotected.

whoa this is news to me. + 30%!!! That is ridiculous. Just goes to show how stupid and stubborn the record companies are about embracing change.

This is why iTunes will continue to be my second (actually 4th) option after Limewire and Co...

It'll come down I reckon. There's so many songs on itunes there's always something else to buy.
