It appears that the era of DRM-free music is upon us. We can’t help but hope that DRM-free TV shows and movies will follow, but of course that’s a whole different story.
Steve Jobs, the anti-DRM crusader of late, has been careful not to disturb his budding movie download market in public comments.
When asked during the EMI conference call about the potential of lifting DRM from video, Jobs said: “Video is pretty different from music right now because the video industry does not distribute 90 percent of their content DRM free. Never has. So I think they are in a pretty different situation and I wouldn’t hold it to a parallel at all.”
What do you think?
