This is good news, and this is even better.
If it’s too much effort to click on two links, I’ll summarise: EMI have announced all their music available digitally will soon be DRM-free. Added to this catalogue will soon be the music of the Fab Four - The Beatles. Excellent!
(I know this is a few days old but I’ve just got round to writing about it…)
In February, the BBC reported that after Apple Corps (the Beatles’ record label) and Apple, Inc (formerly Apple Computer) reached an agreement over trademarks or something like that, it would shortly be possible to download the group’s back catalogue online using download sites such as Napster or the iTunes Store.
A UK download site called Wippit announced on Friday that they would be the first site to allow fans to legally download the music. EMI, Apple Corp’s parent record label came out today and said it ain’t happening - yet. The article does however, say “EMI is believed to be on the verge of releasing The Beatles’ back catalogue as digital downloads”.
