Have to mention that Sony launched it's new
music store with super happy DRM copy-right protection today. It's all about the MiniDisc though which I certainly loved the idea it just, sadly, never caught on. They're just spinning a lot of tiny CDs though cause Sony plans to release their new and improved 1-gig Hi-MD discs in June.
No big guess why everyone and his brother wants in on this shit as it's quite the growing market. Forrester Research, in fact, thinks the digital music market will jump from $308 million this year to $4.4 billion by 2008.
