And then there were none
Sony BMG, the last major record label that won’t sell you music without DRM kneecapping will reverse its stance in February, according to a report today.
Corporate froth mag BusinessWeek cites a source familiar with the matter as saying it’ll get involved in a major DRM free music tie-in with Amazon and the Super Bowl, which is scheduled for February 3. Details of Sony BMG’s plans are expected to emerge in the coming weeks. Justin Timberlake, the popular recording artist signed to the Sony-owned Jive label, is participating in a Super Bowl promotion with Pepsi (PEP) and will offer free distribution of 1 billion songs from major labels, including Sony BMG, through Amazon’s DRM-free download service, according to a person familiar with the matter.
It is definately a good thing that finally see the light!
