Music retailers have been moving away from enforcing DRM (digital rights management) restrictions on music downloads, in hopes of giving the industry a shot in the arm. Along with this, a number of P2P (peer-to-peer) players have recently been looking into offering DRM-free downloads--P2P giant, Napster, last week announced it would open its catalog of six million songs for download at US$0.99 per track; South Korea's Soribada last month obtained government approval to allow subscribers to share unlimited amounts of DRM-free music through its Orgel service.
Some industry watchers ZDNet Asia spoke with expressed hope in the viability of such DRM-free music download services in the region, but not without taking into account the higher levels of piracy in Asia which could possibly dampen such efforts.
