Comments on: Sony to develop own DRM-free music store http://www.rlslog.net/sony-to-develop-own-drm-free-music-store/ Hot info about new scene releases!

There are lot's of folks out there willing to pay a reasonable fee for DRM-free music, if for no other reason than to not have to worry about being sued. It's about time the studios capitalized on this very fact. It's likely not be the exact system the studios would like (especially the DRM-free part) and many people will still chose the path of piracy, but making some money is better than no money at all, right?

[/quote] Sounds interesting, even if the sheer mention of the company makes me sick. Such a subscription service would never be DRM-free - it simply wouldn't work. In fact Rolf doesn't mention DRM at all (nor does the interviewer ask this question) - be assured, such music would be totally DRM-infested. If that's what you are looking for... go ahead! [quote]

Ya ok let me pay money to yet another company to listen to the music i want and quite possibly not have full ownership of it when I stop paying monthly fees. Torrrents will never die or go away.. theese companies need to embrace that and start thinking outside of the box, why would you pay for an albumn when you can download it for free using p2p? And using p2p you can get "exclusive" tracks that come with certain releases too. You’ve got to be kidding me right?

Who wants music on their PC's that will one day evaporate. They need to understand that they're trying to compete against free all you can download music(P2P). The sooner that happens the better off for everyone. No timed restrictions,No high priced subscriptions and no DRM. I would gladly pay a monthly fee for something thats fair. After all artists deserve to get paid for studio recordings. On the other hand this new system they're trying to setup still smells of them trying to control things, bigger profits for BMG compared to the artists. Too little too late.
