No more DRM from EMI
April 2, 2007 at 3:46 pm
At last, one of the biggest music distribution companies, EMI, is going to ditch the Digital Rights Management DRM. The company will offer all songs of their artists first on Apples iTunes store, but will charge a bit more per song (album prices stay the same) for better quality and a file free of DRM.
The only band still not available online are the Beatles, whos company Apple Corps still doesn’t want their songs to be downloadable.
