With Sony BMG planning to drop DRM - the last of the Big Four record labels with Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and EMI Music, to throw in the towel on digital rights management. The end of DRM might embolden a host of new, online download venues initiated by the Big Four in its searches for a successful digital strategy.

This is the way to go, both for Nokia and Apple, leave the freedom for the user to beam his legally bought tunes to his possible many different devices, this openess might in the end create more revenue and more happy consumers.

He hinted that they'd been experimenting with DRM-free music and had seen good results. His points you outlined about putting users first by addressing value for price issues and creating compelling experiences was really refreshing. Seems like they're saying bullocks to the RIAA, which they're a part of.
