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."

Hermoine Dies in Harry Potter 7

[Anonymous Coward]

Dear my brothers, Voldemort killed Hermione. Yes, that's true. And we knew that 2 days ago. This is the end of the not yet published (someone could call that 0day) book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . At the end of the story Hagrid was killed by Snape in the attempt of ambush Hermione and Ron. Ron and Hermione flees in privet drive but Voldermort, surprising them, engaged a magical duel with Ron and Hermione. Voldemort attacked trough the imperius curse and Hermione, to protect the life of Ron fight hardly for more than 6 pages and then finally die. (boring, very boring... it's always the same story!) Then, to make a long story short, Harry came up, killed all the bad guys and Hogwarts against became a good place to stay and have fun. Ah, i missed one important information about Draco Malfoy, he started to create Horcrux (for fun and profit!). The end.

This has been a very impressive PR stunt. Let's claim to be DRM free and then we're the heroes who stand up for the little guy, the customer. Let's not forget, they still encode e-mail addresses and names in these 'DRM free' tracks. I still consider that DRM. If we're gonna love someone for providing DRM free tracks, remember Amazon is providing actual unencoded MP3s.
