• I think it proves that if you make content easy to consume without barriers then people will consume it. Sharing only encourages more people to hear it and therefore buy if they like. Posted by stuartmiles, United Kingdom
• It certainly seems like we're getting more and better choices than the bad old days when your legal choices were limited to OD2 or iTunes, both DRM'd to the gills. I'm certainly more tempted to buy plain MP3s not just because of the freedom to place them on as many devices as you like, but because you're not restricted to devices that have licensed software and certified compatible with Microsoft or Apple. Now if only they'd do something similar with eBooks so people don't have to crack the DRM and convert them to make them usable. Posted by GK, UK
