For a year now I’ve been following the whole Music DRM thing , I hate it simply hate it, its like they talk big and they never follow through with what they plan to do when I saw the post on Techcrunch i was so happy it wasn’t even real, hah!.
Sony BMG, the company that championed DRM music through rootkits is about to drop DRM, according to a report by Businessweek
.
Sony BMG will become the last of the big four record companies to offer music without the handicap of digital rights management, effectively putting the final nail into the music DRM coffin.
Justin Timberlake’s latest song is expected to be the first release by Sony BMG via Amazon of DRM free music.

Companies finally figured out that DRM was actually hurting their legal customers more than it was helping their efforts to stop piracy. Music, in any form, still has to become analog as still point, so people found a way around it. Copy protection can be a good thing, but not if it only benefits the pirates, and not the legal purchasers.
