EMI Group PLC looks at the possibility of selling DRM free songs

"Music company EMI Group PLC is reportedly talking with several online retailers about possibly selling its entire digital music catalog in MP3 format without copy protection.The pure MP3 format can be freely copied and played on virtually any device. It would enable the users to purchase song from their choice of store to play on their choice of a digital music player."This was reported by the media group Wall Street Journal.With out copy protection EMI Group can easily develop a huge pertancial market, but they should be ready for those free dowloading web site pirate copy right. That is exactly what the compeny wants which is expansing the market. I believe that illustrated People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off.

This is a logical idea, many company's have been selling songs online like the new Napster. This is just a way to make it easier. Right now the market is clustered with different media players different mp3 players and different copyrighted material. It's almost harder to do things the legal way then to just jump on and download of LimeWire. This company has a the right idea on how to make it easier for the consumer to get what they want. I don't believe they would just be helping them self. I honestly think that the consumer would profit because it would be more efficient to be able to have the same format for everything.
