Napster reborn: Another nail in the coffin for DRM (Download Squad)

Jan 7th 2008 11:03AM kristin, your comment re: napster now being the service "it should have been all along" is ignorant -- and by that i mean it takes napster to task for a decision that was in the hands of the labels.

the question of whether to sell music as MP3 vs. as DRMed downloads was not one that was up to napster, or rhapsody, or even itunes -- it was/is contractually obligated by the labels.

had napster decided not to sell songs, i suspect they'd be taking flak instead for not even selling music. so i think there's a little damned if they do, damned if they don't going on here.
