        I'll definitely be buying music off of Amazon from now on just to support them and kill DRM forever.

          yeah this is good news. although people will trade these even if it is only on a small scale over instant messengers. and the files will definatley find their way onto p2p stuff. i say bring back vinyl's, it feels like youv actually gought something when you buy a good record. as apposed to a cd which is a shiney bit of plastic with an overly digital sound to it. bob dylan said he doesnt blame people for downloading as modern recordings are so $hit.

            I am not sure if they are doing right because the FOCUS is the most important strategy in their business. My perception regarding amazon.com is that they are the best book sellers. So, losing focus will cause fall in time...

                  This is good news for music listeners around the globe and I guess will be welcomed with arms open. The DRM policies that were ruling the use and distribution of music files had restrictions and terms that was unjust and unfriendly to the purchser of the digital content - in other words, the people who framed it DID NOT take into consideration the rights of the purchaser or consumer. Such sort of DRM policies were bound to fail - FOREVER. OFCOURSE - If I have PURCHASED a piece of music in digital form - it makes no real sense for me as a CUSTOMER to have restrictions on the number of digital devices that I can transfer it to. Its good that it happened sooner. I wish the legal music industry will see a huge rise in sales after this new policy - rather than stupidly losing over pirated content providers.
