One of the major labels in the music industry (Sony BMG) has decided to remove the DRM protection on their MP3s.
Sony BMG is the last of the major record labels to cave in to the removal of DRM.
It is predicted that this will put a strain on Apple’s position in the music industry as we all know that iTunes relies heavily on the DRM protection it uses on every song downloaded.
Amazon is now likely to take some of Apple’s market as they’re in the process of releasing DRM-Free music, something that is much more appealing to any music lover.
Apple of course, has the iPod to fall back on. With the iPod being the most popular MP3 player at the moment which is tied to iTunes, maybe they will keep a firm grasp on the music industry after all….
