D-R-Aime?

... and other observations
What is DRAime? It's a blog that talks about D, R and ...M! I know what the D stands for, I know what the R stands for, but I have yet to understand what the M is for.
Management? Mismanagement? Misery? Mystery? All bets are on!
(For those who don't know, Aime, in french, is pronounced M and means to like - which gives us DRM)

A service for the rest of us...

For those that haven't jumped on the DRM bandwagon, and that like things with clout (because there are already other legal mp3 providers out there, like emusic) it looks like mp3.com will be making a come back selling popular music.

    Please explain how any major label will allow their music to be distributed without any restrictions in place.

    The same way they allow(ed) music on CDs to be distributed without DRM restriction. There are other types of parameters that can be played with to entice people to buy music legally. They can play on volume, on recurring fees, etc. DRM is not a necessity, particularily if you consider that the non DRM part of the equation is hard to completely hide (Kazaa, Emule, etc.)

    Oh right, the same way they got their asses sued the first time. Good idea.

    I just think that the major labels are already about as leniant as they're going to get for the foreseeable future with respect to the DRM they insist on to license their music. There's no way this service will roll out with the lack of restrictions that people are speculating on (Plain old MP3 with no DRM whatsoever).
