Vivendi tries DRM free sales through Universal Posted on August 13, 2007 by Robin Reply Universal Music Group is to sell thousands of tracks DRM free untill 1/8, none of which on the iTunes store in an attempt to measure if DRM sells better or worse. Or if the iTunes store sells poorly. Or whatever. Probably just to piss Apple off really. And to see if people will really want to buy DRM free music (no way!). Who knows, but after looking at EMI (who still seem to be selling their music, even if it is DRM free and EMI don’t seem to be making such huge DRM overheads…) this is good news for the Music Industry as well as the consumers.
And Denmark runs for the North Pole Posted on August 13, 2007 by Robin Reply Here goes the next claimant: Denmark, acting in the interests of Greenland is now claiming the North Pole oil reserves. You see, they, just like Russia have just discovered an arctic ridge linking their country to the Pole. Canada isn’t taking this lying down either of course. They’re now sending 900 rangers to the pole as well, making that 2 military bases the Canadians have on the roof of the world.
