EMI - "Evaluating" Whether To Give You Back Your Rights

It seems with the relentless march of digital downloads becoming more important to their financial bottom line, EMI are making some moves to sound more friendly at last.

EMI Group Plc said on Monday it was reviewing its use of the controversial content protection technology used on CDs, known as digital rights management (DRM), but has not scrapped it altogether.
A spokeswoman for EMI said it had not manufactured any new disks with DRM, which restricts consumers from making copies of songs and films they have purchased legally, for the last few months.

She said the company had mostly used the system in markets such as Asia, Latin America and continental Europe but not the UK or the U.S..
"We haven't manufactured any new disks with content protection on them for the last few months," she said. "It doesn't mean we've scrapped content protection but we're evaluating it."

The DRM mechanism was launched as part of the fight against piracy but it angered consumer groups for imposing restrictions

I,m sure this will be good news to many to be able to use listen to the music they paid for on their home equipment, only those who blindly purchased and followed the record companies advice where affected, perhaps thats a good thing  :lol:
