CNET bericht dat Sony en BMG ook via het Internet muziek gaan verkopen. De platenlabels vragen zich nog af of dat MP3 moet gaan: ze zijn namelijk erg bang dat mensen deze kopiëren (ooohhhh...).
While full details of the plans are unavailable, it appears that the major record label companies continue to be obsessed with copy replication restrictions and encryption," he said. "Although their concerns are understandable, we continue to have serious doubts about the consumer acceptance of such impediments.
"In the PC-centric entertainment environment we envision for the future, consumers will want to freely transfer files among a variety of devices and recording media," Leigh added. If the record labels adopt a standard that places significant limitations on their ability to transfer files, the consumer may prefer to continue buying conventional CDs instead of purchasing restricted audio files.
Sony verwacht dat het eind deze maand al zo ver is, BMG denkt dat het eens in de volgende maanden gebeurt.
