Amazon DRM-Free Music Store Goes Beta

LowSNR writes "Amazon this morning moved their DRM-free music store into open beta. According to the release, 'Since all our digital music downloads are DRM-free, you can play them on anything that plays mp3s including PCs, Macs(tm), iPods(tm), Zunes(tm), Zens(tm), iPhones(tm), RAZRs(tm), and BlackBerrys. Plus, our Amazon MP3 Downloader application makes it easy to add your downloads to iTunes(tm) and Windows Media Player(tm), so you can sync up your devices or burn your music to CD hassle-free.' Not to mention Linux." Of course, without DRM few of the major labels play with them.

    The rest of the world has something called "BitTorrent". It's free, and while we also have access to it here in the USA, people in the rest of the world don't have to worry about being sued for using it.

    So what are you complaining about?

    Oh, is that what you think a producer does? I'm not even going to get into to the rest of your inane bullshit comment.

    I read a lot of Slashdot, and I see a lot of people make themselves sound like assholes, and I also see a lot of people make themselves sound like idiots. But you are one of those rare gems who manage to pull off both at once. Congratulations.
