I'm relishing the fact that all of these companies are battling with one another over this DRM issue. I no longer care what anyone's intentions are, as long as the result in the end is no DRM. One down, three more to go..... http://tech.monstersandcritics.com/news/article_1262517.php/EMI_wants_to_sell_music_with_no_DRM

Quote

"According to the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal, both citing people ‘close to the matter,’ EMI is fishing for proposals that will include the amount of upfront payment online music stores will offer in return for the rights to sell EMI’s catalogue of music. Bands such as Cold Play, Reliant K, and The Rolling Stones would be included. The latter two artists were included in an online experiment that offered their singles in MP3 format with no installed protection. It was a huge success.
If EMI starts selling music, with no DRM, it could mean tens-of-millions of dollars for the already growing amounts of money, they collect with existing contracts for digital music sales. Will the others in the ‘big four’ follow suit? There was no word from Warner, Sony BMG, or Universal, on the subject. Apple would not release a comment on what they called speculation."
