DRM on audio books, a thing of the past?
Digital Rights Management, or DRM, is designed to protect digital content from piracy, however, there are often numerous complications, and many DRM systems are often cracked in fairly short order. As a result, the publishing industry is reconsidering the use of DRM on its audio books. The New York Times reports on the change in “Publishers Phase Out Piracy Protection on Audio Books.” (somewhat ironically behind a free registration wall). The highlight is that first Random House and now Penguin Group are both planning on offering their audio books completely free of DRM. For more, go read the whole thing (after registering): “Publishers Phase Out Piracy Protection on Audio Books.”
