Napster to dump DRM
January 7th 2008
Reuters reports that Napster has said it will start selling downloads in the MP3 format from Q2, dumping Microsoft's DRM in the process.
"We projected a year ago that there would be a critical mass of support for MP3, and we're pleased to see the music industry is beginning to support it," said Chief Executive Chris Gorog. "There's now enough top-tier content out there."
All of the major labels have either moved to released MP3 content or announced the intention to do so.
Editor's note: This means that Napster's content will play on an iPod.
With this news, I anticipate major announcement from Apple on DRM...
What's your take?
