| Sony BMG to sell DRM-free music downloads through stores Written by Daniel Monday, 07 January 2008 Users will be able to download just 37 albums DRM-free from Sony BMG starting Jan. 15 -- but first they must go to a retail store and buy the $12.99 Platinum MusicPass By Peter Sayer, IDG News Service January 07, 2008 InfoWorld Sony BMG Music Entertainment will crack open the door to its music vaults on Jan. 15, taking the DRM copy-prevention wrapper off a limited selection of downloadable tracks. The tracks will be offered in MP3 format, without DRM (digital rights management), from Jan. 15 in the U.S. and from late January in Canada.... Front Page

| Why would I buy a code, drive home, sign up with their online service, then wait for a download to complete so I can listen to an album I could have grabbed for just a buck or two more at the same store and listened to it on the way home?

| Because Sony wants you to. Think of it as a way of saying thanks to Sony for DRM!

You see, they really, REALLY don't want to allow you to download the songs, but since everyone else is allowing you to, they have to at least APPEAR to be following suit. Remember, this is the company that thought installing a rootkit on your computer without your permission was OK.

Seriously though, I usually buy CD's anyway I got a $25 Itunes card for X-mas a year ago, those were the only songs I downloaded.. I prefer the freedom rather than the discount.
