Wal-Mart DRM server shutdown

Posted in DRM on September 30th, 2008

DRMed music is never a good thing for us here at DMF, and here is a Great example of why.

Wal-Mart, up until recently, ran a DRM based music download service, before eventually switching to a drm-free MP3 approach. However, customers could not convert to the new MP3s they had bought, oh no, they had to keep their DRMed ones; which will now become completely useless, unless backed up to audio CD, with the shutdown of the DRM server.

So when a company who runs a DRM service goes bust, we lose all our music? Great work there.
