The day DRM died

EMI, in an unprecedented move, is offering all it’s digital songs DRM-free. TechCrunch reports Apple is gonna sell them for $1.29 per song.

Now, that’s a huge surprise though it may not really affect us here in the Philippines since iTunes was never available here but to the rest of the iTunes population, this day (April 2, 2007) marks the death of DRM.

Kudos to Steve Jobs for openly voicing his opinions against DRM earlier.

    iTunes can work here on the Philippines.

    1) Change your Regional Settings

    2) Preferably, it’s better to use Paypal but almost all CCs work.

    I’ve been enjoying, iPod games, iPod Video downloads, etc… etc… Although 1 video costs 1 or 2 DVD here. Lame :( LOL!

    Too bad, there’s no iTunes on Linux, there are alternatives but they just suck and makes you reset your iPod always.

    Hoping that other record companies follow suit.
