Merlin Mann | Apr 7 2007

Way to innovate, Redmond. Once the period of EMI's exclusive deal with Apple has ended, this should make both Zune owners very happy. [via: Boing Boing: Microsoft dropping DRM from Zune Music Store] 20 Comments

Here's betting 'DRM-free' will not mean 'DRM-free'... I could be wrong, but I thinkit is very likely that those premium ACC tracks will in fact be tied to their purchasers... by ITMS name. Some people will call that 'watermaked' tracks... but in fact --should that be the case--, that would just be another way of assigning 'rights' (license ownership), and thus, DRM. I guess, we'll have to wait and see... Best, TFS http://tfserna.ngsec.com/2007/04/02/will-drm-free-tracks-mean-drm-free-tracks/ » POSTED IN:
