Naaaaaaapster!

Auntie Beeb reports that Napster has just opened the world's largest online DRM-free MP3 store. It'll directly compete with Amazon, which is the only other comparable DRM-free store. Sure, iTunes offers the iTunes+ selection, but it's limited. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. What I find interesting is that on the one hand the recording industry is trying to fight unauthorised sharing of MP3s but is now simultaneously putting unprotected content out there in the market place. I guess that if nothing else it'll take the DMCA and Digital Agenda's TPM controls out of the game.
