This is my idea of an online music store:
http://www.audiolunchbox.com
They don't use any DRM on their products.
You pay .99/song or $10/LP ($6/EP)and you
get a zip with:
cover art
~192kbps .mp3 files AND
~192kbps .ogg files.
after you pay, you get a 24-hour
time window to download your music.
The timer doesn't start until you start
your first download.
I think this place is showing that you
can make an online media business without
DRM. I've bought a few albums from them,
and I don't feel like a criminal when
I use the files. I don't have to guess
when these files will self-destruct on
me or which portables or programs will
be able to play them. THIS is FairPlay.
Nothing else is.
