Will Yahoo! ditch DRM?
The head of Yahoo!’s digital music service has called for record labels to allow downloads to be sold free of any DRM restrictions. He told the Music 2.0 conference in Los Angeles that DRM has created a barrier for consumers between their music and what they can do with it, such as transfer it the portable device of their choice. The biggest problem according him is the fact that p2p networks offer the content for free without a DRM. Downloaders get enough value for free. To solve the issue, Goldberg pointed to a number of strategies and innovations. That includes better playlist features, effective personal recommendations, better distribution across devices and platforms, and more seamless billing.
