Hope

Sometime this month, all EMI music on iTunes should be available in DRM-free form. I have been hoping that this would lead to more labels/online music stores following suit and it seems that might happen. Amazon just announced that it would be opening a DRM-free music download store. I think this is the first sign that the music industry is finally realizing that its business model needs to change and that customers need to quit being punished for wanting fair use rights.
