    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the decision of Random House to distribute its digital audio catalogue digital rights management (DRM)-free starting March 1, 2008. Many hope the move will expand the market for digital downloads while other fear the change poses a threat to the industry. The DRM debate was first stirred up when the online music retailer eMusic.com started selling digital audiobooks in 2007. eMusic, the second-largest digital music e-taller, significantly trailing the juggernaut iTunes, sells its files DRM-free.
