Yahoo Exec Says "Enough DRM"

Posted by kdawson on from the content-is-not-context dept.

bogess writes "Yahoo! Music General Manager Ian Rogers recently gave a speech to some music executives about the future of the Internet music business and promised his company will not be involved in Digital Rights Management anymore." Another straw in the wind: Nine Inch Nails has now followed Radiohead in ridding themselves of the labels and going independent.

  1. Is it really that hard... by RuBLed · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    to link to a news site instead to a car-less skater guy's blog who had an issue with pigs and ponies.. ooohhh wait...

  2. OT: which ebook reader? by grimwell · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've dropped literally hundreds of dollars at webscription.net, which not only allows me to buy DRMless books, but to redownload them whenever I want to. It doesn't take two minutes and an internet connection to open them. It'd take two bookshelves to hold them all if I'd bought physical copies. I appreciate the saved space.

    Just out of curiosity... do you use an ebook reader, which one and do you like it?
