Business Week Reports that Sony BMG has made plans to remove digital rights management (DRM) from some of the songs in their collection. This makes Sony BMG the last of the big four record companies to offer music without DRM, and hopefully sealing the fate of that dreaded DRM devil. Some of you may remember Sony BMG’s DRM love affair from the CD copy prevention scandal of 2005 where select Sony Music CD’s installed software that interfered with the way in which the Microsoft Windows operating system plays CDs. It was later discovered that the software opened security holes that allow viruses to break in to certain computers.
