Is the end (of DRM) in sight?
According to an article at DefectiveByDesign.org the majors may be listening to us finally, and playing with the idea of selling music that isn’t crippled. If all goes well, they’ll be offering music that people want, and the experiment will show that it works. Maybe that’s what Sony was doing with Jessica Simpson and Jesse McCartney stuff — songs nobody wants.
Oh, that might have been a bit of inflammatory commentary.
What could happen in a half-hearted attempt is that they could offer some back-catalog non-hits from one-hit wonders, and then blame us for not buying copies. But no, this is Norah Jones and Reliant K.
The article at ArsTechnica mentions eMusic, whose lack of DRM has been a strong selling point.
