Record Labels Contemplate Unrestricted Digital Music
It seems like every week, we get yet another story telling us that the labels are getting ready to sell DRM-less music. This time it is from the New York Times:
"Executives of several technology companies meeting here at Midem, the annual global trade fair for the music industry, said over the weekend that at least one of the four major record companies could move toward the sale of unrestricted digital files in the MP3 format within months."
This is great news indeed, not only because it validates one of my recent predictions, but mainly because I have been buying CDs and avoiding online music stores because of DRM. Now I will finally be able to buy my music online. If I am right and there are many people that have been doing the same, the labels will see a huge increase in online music sales during 2007.
