Roughing It Without DRM
NetImperative reports that London music shop Rough Trade Retail though a partnership with bleep.com will sell music from its web site without using DRM. Snippets:
Stephen Godfroy of Rough Trade Retail, said: “Digital shoppers can expect unique Rough Trade Retail features and services that cater for both individuals and organisations looking for rewarding, consistent discovery of only the most exciting music releases, free from the constraints of marketing-driven recommendations and playlists, DRM and other such non-Rough Trade Retail practices”.
i think you mean bleep.com who sells music as mp3 and FLAC.
bleep was started by warp records, and their first move was to sell ALL of Warp's back catalog, including a lot of vinyl-only releases from AFX/aphex twin and the like. they've since partnered with several other independent labels.
