EMI to Remove Restrictions on Music Downloads - P2P-Zone

JackSpratts · 02-04-07, 08:20 AM

here's an mp3 of the press conference, including a live performance from emi's the good, the bad and the queen. it's drm free.

the new "premium" (256k) singles will cost more unfortunately but "with a little help for a friend," emi won't increase prices for the new drm-free/higher-bit albums, which is their attempt to stave off the death of format they consider critically important.

they will also offer the option to "upgrade" previously purchased emi tracks by simply paying the difference.

Sounds like they're starting to get it. It's still overpriced, but maybe market pressure from the indie labels will force the price down over time. Maybe.
