Barenaked USB Drive

Posted by Zonk on from the not-a-bad-deal dept.

CryptoKnight writes "The Barenaked Ladies are releasing their next album via a reusable 128 MB USB flash drive. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer article: 'Rather than distribute via CD, DVD or download, the Barenaked Ladies are making their newest selection of songs, videos and exclusive material available on a USB flash drive. Nettwerk Music Group is releasing Barenaked on a Stick beginning today, says the Hollywood Reporter. It plays on PCs, Macs and any other audio product with a USB port -- like some car stereos -- and costs $30.'"

    Do the files contain DRM?

    I would think that they do, but it would be great if they didn't.

    You could certainly pay less for one without the barenaked ladies on it. What are we talking here - a 128mb stick tops? $10 on froogle. Another $10 for the CD. How did this get by the marketing bods?

    But I guess we know the answer...

    It is another desperate attempt by the music inductry to catch the horse that bolted by doing something 'innovative' without loosening their stranglehold on the music.

    Next contestant please...
