Paul McCartney Releases Album As DRM-Free Download

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday December 9, 2008 @08:17PM from the getting-it dept.

Medieval Cow writes "Sir Paul McCartney has a side project called The Fireman and he's just released their new album, Electric Arguments, as a digital download. Why this is of interest to this community is that he released it 100% DRM-free. You can purchase just the digital files, or if you purchase a physical CD or vinyl copy, you are also given access to the digital download. Not only that, but the download is available in 320-kbps MP3, Apple Lossless, or even FLAC format. If you're interested in trying before you buy, you can listen to the entire album in a Flash player on the main page of the site. It's so nice to see a big musician who gets it. Bravo, Sir Paul!"

Let's count the number of posts that occur before the first complaint about "no ogg vorbis".

A McCartney album that's actually worth the money!

Probably he realized that he'd loose most of any profit made at the next divorce anyway.
