Google Music Store Inches Closer?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the launch-it-already dept.

smallguy78 writes "Forbes is once again reporting on Google plans to launch its own competitor to iTunes, a Google music store. From the article: 'The music industry is broadly unhappy with the fixed pricing and lack of subscription options at the market-leading iTunes Music Store and likely to support alternative services.'" We have touched on this subject previously. This most recent report would seem to indicate the launch will happen sooner rather than later.

    How is one closed/propriatary DRM scheme "more standard" than any other?

    Because Microsoft is bigger than Apple; therefore, everything Microsoft does is "more standard" than anything Apple (or any other company) does. This falls under the specialized field of "monopoly logic."
