First Apple, now Amazon

The first chink in the DRM wall was when Apple's iTunes store started selling EMI's music in a non-DRM'd format (albeit at a markup.) Now Amazon is joining the fray selling the same catalogue. This is good and I hope other music distributors and recording studios follow suit.
On the side, it's interesting that Amazon, known primarily as an online bookstore, is described as:
the Internet’s most successful seller of physical CDs
I can easily believe that given that I buy almost all of my CDs via them these days due to pricing and the depth of the catalogue.

English Literature. We do criticism and analysis, not spelling. That’s for people with B.Ed’s.
Need I point out someone’s prior pedantry on my comment sections? :)

Are you sure you want to dare me to start nitpicking your posts? :)
