By Bill Rosenblatt
wo recent announcements from Warner Music Group (WMG) and SonyBMG Music push
the music industry on an irrevocable path to abandonment of DRM for permanent paid downloads
over the Internet. Just before the New Year, WMG
announced that it will be joining EMI and Universal Music Group (UMG) in
offering unprotected MP3-format tracks on Amazon.com.
SonyBMG followed suit with a similar announcement today, a week after making a much more limited announcement about a few dozen albums it will distribute as physical cards in retail stores that contain codes for downloading MP3s from a special website. Amazon will offer SonyBMG MP3s starting later this month. Related Links:
