Report: Nokia to remove DRM from Comes With Music
Users might be able to keep all the songs they download from Nokia’s Comes With Music service, but its DRM means they can’t be played on other devices or burned to CDs. It seems this may change, though, judging by a report on industry site Mobile Entertainment.
The story claims that at last night’s UK launch of the N97 handset, Nokia said it will remove DRM from its Nokia Music Store by the end of 2009, and is aiming to make Comes With Music MP3-only in 2010 to boot. It would be a logical move, given the announcement this week of Virgin Media and UMG’s unlimited music service, which is DRM-free.
ME also says Nokia has hit back against claims that Comes With Music is performing poorly, and has confirmed that “60% of all CWM device owners in the UK, and over 70% in Mexico, activate the unlimited track service”. Although we have to say, why on earth haven’t the other 40% / 30% done it, given that it’s the raison d’etre of the phone they’ve bought?
