It's over. The last major label to hold out on selling DRM-free MP3s, Sony BMG, is "finalizing plans" to sell music not locked down with DRM. It'll be available sometime in the first quarter, apparently in time to get in on Amazon and Pepsi's 1 billion song giveaway, which now looks like it'll have tracks from every major label. So, how'd we get here?
This is surely a victory for those of us that like to legally buy our music online as opposed to in a retail environment and play it across multiple platforms. It is a sign of the times if ever there was one folks...mark this day.
