don't believe the hype

A very interesting article about the emusic.com and how they've managed to build a business without using DRM. Not using DRM allows them to sell to iPod users (the only online music shop outside of iTunes to do this), however it means they can't sell major-label music. But they have built a large catalogue of independent music to sell, and also recognise the importance of helping customers discover new music. Recommended if you are interesting in indie music or DRM issues.
