EMI is now DRM free
It seems that Jobs is winning his campaign against DRM, and his inital warcry wasn’t just a shallow attempt to gain supporters. EMI have finally dropped the DRM deadlock, they will still continue to offer DRM versions of songs at a discounted rate but the DRM-free version are available without restrictions, in AAC format, and at a higher bitrate. How much? Just 30 pence more…
So is it worth it? Checking EMI’s current signed list i’d say its worth it just for the Beastie Boys and Queen. EMI’s move is interesting to the community, others speculate that no other lables will follow this move and EMI only commited to this due to their ever falling stock price. All we can do is wait and see…
