I, for one, welcome the beginning of the end of DRM.

It should not be about enabling piracy as someone (joking I believe) mentioned above. If someone can shell out 99¢ for a song, them f*** them!

You guys know that no engadget reader would dare read the Wall Street Journal.

I love this about eMusic. Buy tracks on your home machine, download them, then go to work and download them again.

This makes it easier to initiate sharing with other people, but it doesn't make acquiring pirated music any easier. The latter is where piracy hurts the labels, and this doesn't change it a bit.]]>Apr 2nd 2007 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/why-jobs-is-going-to-london-emi-is-ditching-drm/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/why-jobs-is-going-to-london-emi-is-ditching-drm/
Even if MP3s were only a dime a track, I'd still exceed the $15 a month I pay for Rhapsody (or Napster).

DRM only hurts those people who don't realize that buying CDs is still the best way to purchase music, and that sub services are the best way to handle your digital needs.]]>Apr 2nd 2007 1:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/why-jobs-is-going-to-london-emi-is-ditching-drm/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/01/why-jobs-is-going-to-london-emi-is-ditching-drm/
I was curious what artists are on EMI's label and found the list here: http://www.emigroup.com/About/Music/Default.htm.
