Sell Your Music on iTunes Music Store

Photo_Designer writes "CD Baby is now accepting music to be sold via digital distibution through iTunes Music Store, Listen.com and others. Their cut is 9 percent. The artists get 91 percent of the sale and retain all the rights to their music. There is a $40 fee for each album submitted. It will be interesting to see how much indie music gets on and how it does. Imagine being a touring indie band and be able to tell people to go to iTunes and buy your songs; it seems this could be a huge boon to musicians wanting to circumvent/boycott/avoid/destroy the RIAA." Note that this is not an agreement to get on iTMS or any other service, only for CD Baby to be your distributor. iTMS can still reject your sorry attempt at fame.

Well, good format maybe, but there's no such thing as "reasonable" DRM. "Reasonable" would require it to be "able" to "reason". DRM is just a machine following instructions. In the case of iTunes, I gather that one of those instructions allows the making of CDs. It also seems likely that the resulting CDs are easily "ripped" to a format which contains no DRM bits at all. Talk about cracked.
