New "MP3 100% Compatible" Logo For DRM-Free Music

Posted by kdawson on from the plays-for-sure-this-time-we-really-mean-it dept.

Sockatume writes "A coalition of seven UK digital music stores have created a logo for DRM-free, MP3 music. The 'MP3: 100% Compatible' logo allows the stores to emphasize the advantages of the format, namely that MP3 files will run on any device and won't keel over and die as DRM-laden files are wont to. The BPI — the UK equivalent of the RIAA — is backing the scheme, emphasizing that it will also allow users to identify legitimate stores."

    I don't understand this DRM stuff. I've never had a problem copying DRM music. and I've never tried, but I imagine I wouldn't have a problem copying DRM movies. and I'm not that smart, I know lots of people smarter than me. I guess it keeps the honest people honest.
