EMI Says ITMS DRM-Free Music Selling Well

Posted by Zonk on from the people-like-choice dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'The initial results of DRM-free music are good' says Lauren Berkowitz, a senior vice president of EMI, at a music industry conference in New York. Berkowitz went on to say that the early results from iTunes indicate that DRM-free offerings may boost revenue from digital albums as well as individual songs."

    Mod parent up! Encoding personally-identifiable information in the files is still DRM, albeit a significantly less restrictive one. It just says, "See, we still don't trust you," while allowing you to exercise your fair use rights, but charging you for the privelege.

    Oh well, I'm probably just going to get modded down (a whole bunch of -1, overrated's) by the Apple zealots around here that seem to be plaguing /. as of late. Yes, that means you, Jake.
