[Vorbis] US Yahoo offers copy-free music

Mon Jul 24 01:06:05 PDT 2006

Good news. Yahoo has a history of ulterior motives, though. Let's see what happens from here.

P.S: Yahoo also said they wanted to adopt XSPF a good while ago. However, they created weird and useless extensions, thus making their own version of XSPF, which is not compatible anywhere else.

Not directly relevant to Vorbis, but it seems that some people are
coming to realise the true value of DRM:

"Our position is simple: DRM doesn't add any value for the artist,
label (who are selling DRM-free music every day - the Compact Disc),
or consumer, the only people it adds value to are the technology
companies who are interested in locking consumers to a particular
technology platform."

(And maybe it's only a short step from DRM free to patent free?)
