Internet company Yahoo has released its first music download from a major record label without copy protection.
A Public Affair by Jessica Simpson does not have any digital rights management (DRM) restrictions often found on tracks from other sites.
On the official Yahoo music blog, director of product management Ian Rogers wrote: "As you know, we've been publicly trying to convince record labels that they should be selling MP3s for a while now.
"Our position is simple: DRM doesn't add any value for the artist, label (who are selling DRM-free music every day - the Compact Disc), or consumer, the only people it adds value to are the technology companies who are interested in locking consumers to a particular technology platform."

Heel prettig allemaal en erg nobel, maar ik denk dat het de enige manier is waarop ze denken de grote achterstand op iTunes te kunnen inlopen.
Het liedje heeft nog een ander leukigheidje:
"The new track, costing $1.99 (£1.07), can be personalised before the song is downloaded, allowing users to have their name inserted in the lyrics."

Gatverdamme zeg, dat laatste.
Nog ff en je mag het allemaal zelf doen, onder het mom van de emancipatie van de consument. :)

Gatverdamme zeg, dat laatste.Nee, leuk! Hopelijk slaat dit snel door naar indie, etc.!
