Let's just hope that we'll see something similar in the US soon...]]>Jan 16th 2007 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/128kbps AAC beats 192kbps MP3.]]>Jan 16th 2007 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/Jan 16th 2007 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/Jan 16th 2007 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/Jan 16th 2007 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/Jan 16th 2007 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/
Well there is emusic.com. I'm currently paying $14.99 a month for 50 downloads that are completely DRM free and ripped at 320kbps. Now granted it is all pretty much indie music, but that is all I pretty much listen to.]]>Jan 16th 2007 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/
In theory, the same argument could be made as the allofmp3.com situation. Regardless of whether THEY are legit or not, the process seems to be perfectly legal. All you are doing is importing music, which as far as I know, is legal.]]>Jan 16th 2007 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/Jan 16th 2007 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/
-Ladies and gentlemen... moral relativism.

In all seriousness, if non-French can access the Virgin store, I'm all for it (depending on price). It's DRM-Free, artist sanctioned (ahem, allofmp3) way to get digital music.

Emusic and magnatune are both awesome (and zunior is tremendous), but they both are relatively limited in terms of breadth (they're really strong on depth, though). With the Virgin name, you can probably expect some radio-friendly artists to appear (and maybe even some downright famous ones).]]>Jan 16th 2007 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/]]>Jan 22nd 2007 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/Jan 16th 2007 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/Jan 16th 2007 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/A couple of years ago they were bullying Apple to give them access to FairPlay.]]>Jan 16th 2007 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/Jan 16th 2007 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/16/virginmega-france-to-sell-drm-free-mp3s-in-march/Jan 19th 2007 10:27PM
