EMI sells unlocked music through itunes
Big announcement: the EMI record label has agreed to sell music without Digital Rights Management (AKA encryption, AKA locked music) through itunes – which should mean you can listen to it on any hardware, and copy it to any devices you want. The songs will be twice the usual clarity, and will cost 1.29 instead of .99.
I looked through this list of bands it applies to, and my first thought was, Hey filmmaker79, Otep! My second thought was, Hey peculiaire, ‘chemode!
Cool. :) I might now consider actually buying some music through itunes.
Nothing doing. Allofmp3.com is DRM-free, whatever bit-rate I want (even uncompressed), and a tenth as much for high bit rate songs.
do any of the allofmp3 procceds actually find it’s way to the artists?
Something feels very off about that site, I’ve never felt right using it.
Allofmp3 pays for rights straight up to the Russian equivalent of ASCAP. Unfortunately, the international equivalent of ASCAP has refused to accept those payments for years, because it disapproves of how allofmp3.com works (AllofMP3 operates under radio station broadcasting rules in Russia). So, the money has never gotten to the artists, but not for lack of trying.
