Yahoo Music Does The Right Thing: Issues Refunds to Customers - ReadWriteWeb

Yahoo has announced that it will issue a refund to its customers for the full value of their purchases. According to a report on CNet, Yahoo is also looking at making copies of the music its customers bought available to them as MP3s without any DRM.

Looks like there is a little hope for the Yahoo Music customers.

DRM still sucks: Yahoo Music going dark.

DRM still sucks: Yahoo Music going dark, taking keys with it

The bad dream of DRM continues. Yahoo e-mailed its Yahoo! Music Store customers yesterday, telling them it will be closing for good—and the company will take its DRM license key servers offline on September 30, 2008. Sure, it’s bad news and yet another example of the sheer lobotomized brain-deadness that has characterized music DRM, but the reaction of most music fans will be: “Yahoo had an online music store?”

Yet another reason to quit buying DRM content.  If you have to ask someone permission to listen to a song, then you didn’t really buy it now did you.  Seriously people, Amazon has perfectly legal unencrypted, un-DRM’d MP3s for seriously nice prices.  Why stick with the companies that insist on using DRM?  Do you really think they will be around forever?
