article published on 5 March, 2008

7Digital.com is the first online music retailer to offer customers in the U.K., Ireland, Spain, France, and Germany DRM-free songs from Warner Music.

I buy my music from independent websites like www.nugs.net and the artist's own homepages. These bands dropped DRM a long time ago. Many offer both MP-3 and lossless FLAC options, if you wanna pay a couple of extra bucks for the CD quality versions.

Nobody cares if I make one or several copies. Two copies are made for the big home stereo systems in the lossless format. Nobody cares if I convert them to MP-3 so we can listen to my paid for songs on an IPOD or other portable devices. The RIAA goes nuts over their customers having control of what we buy.

The RIAA's business model died several years ago. I refuse to patronize those paranoid music mafia companies any more. Time to move on...

Perhaps this might make the service usable. I've bought tracks which I can't even download as the drm refuses to authenticate.
Shame they most likely won't remove the drm from those i've already paid for.
