"Wow. I Can Buy Online Music Without DRM Padlocks?"

Wednesday March 28, 2007
Yes, if you are Canadian. This controversial online music store is shaking up the music world. Unlike every other online music store, Puretracks offers copyrighted music for 99 cents a song without any DRM padlocks. That means you are permitted to make copies of the songs you download, and play it with most any music player without restriction. No annoying DRM will stop you from burning a CD, nor will it force you to use Windows Media Player. The price is right, and the freedom appeal is definitely there for liberterians. At this time, there is one catch: you need to have a Canadian IP address to get the DRM-free music.  But whether you are Canadian or not, this online music store is worth seeing for yourself.
