| It's all about the Beatles
At least the Beatles had some balls and held off until those no-good money grubbing shysters over at Apple dropped the DRM and one price nonesense.
The Fab Four do it again!

It was the money grubbing music industry that required the DRM. Apple just developed something to meet their requirements. |

Funny that Amazon didn't seem to have that problem.

That's funny because Michal Jackson bought the rights to the Beatle music and lost them to Sony years ago... |

| He still owns half of the rights to "The Beatles" songs which is still a lot of money.

You'll find those in the music business who vastly prefer their business model to Apple's cult mentality. eMusic is mostly independent artists and non-RIAA labels. I suppose you couldn't satiate your Britney Spears hunger there.

I suppose you couldn't satiate your Britney Spears hunger there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the business model that will prevail is the one that is most successful correct? It's obvious that Apple being a player in the music industry now has influenced DRM free sales to all vendors. It was only a few years ago that we were all complaining that the RIAA would never see the light on this model. Lots of sales on iTunes (over traditional cd sales) helped "convince" them much faster than all of us complaining on a site.
By the way, I believe Britney Spears is available on Amazon as well. |
