Warner teams up with 7digital to provide DRM-free music
,----[ Quote ]
| The move is quite a kick in the teeth for Apple's Itunes, as the DRM free
| MP3's can be played on almost all digital devices including the iPod. The
| move makes UK-based music download site 7 Digital the first major European
| download source offering Warner Music and EMI tracks in the MP3 file format.
| They are also rumoured to be in discussions with Sony BMG and Universal.
