Walmart Caves On DRM Removal

Posted by kdawson on from the just-kidding dept.

cmunic8r99 writes in with an email he received from walmart.com yesterday evening about the pending shutdown of their DRM services (which we discussed a while back). Walmart has reconsidered and won't be shutting off its DRM servers after all. They are still moving to an all-MP3 store, but won't break all the DRMed music its customers have already downloaded; this because of "feedback from the customers."

    So customers have contacted them and said. " We love DRM it makes the music sound better! Please dont get rid of it."

    Yeah right.

    Sounds like an excuse to hide that they were paid or given a "better deal" to keep the DRM on there.

    If there is one thing that Walmart does is anything that makes walmart more money. They dont give a rats ass about the customer.

    Speaking of Tags, does somebody know how to make them not show? I have in my setting 'Show Tags' as unchecked.
