Amazon decided to start DRM-free music distribution service within the year

It was rumored from beforeAmazon seems to be starting Amazon music distribution service with copy prevention technology, so-called DRM, at US Amazon. Distribution file format is MP3 format.

It is quite large because the label to join is already over 12,000 besides EMI which has already agreed with Apple on DRM-free music distribution. It may not be long before DRM free becomes an industry standard as it is.

Details are as follows.

Amazon will sell music that can be played on any music player by this, and there is a high possibility that it will occupy a considerable share, but again I do not know what will happen to Japan .... In other words, Japan is not only concerned with music copyright rights it does not get out of the existing business model but it is enough to earn revenue (it is to the last it is unknown whether the future is unknown), but also the disadvantage arising in the case of DRM free There seems to be no person enough to say that "Because I will take responsibility" within the company due to the question of taking responsibility. Honestly, there is not a person who suggests a model that can take responsibility and produce profits more than the copyright incentive kana that is generally told. If that fails, you probably will not be able to come back again, and there is the possibility of causing serious damage to the company as well. Everyone is feeling like "Does someone do it, I do not do it, I wonder what it is?", It is the fact that we are seeing the situation ......

While I think that the biggest problem is that overseas companies get on board and get all the markets while doing so, but ... that is why Sony's Walkman is using Apple As I lost to the iPod.
