Napster has joined DRM-free MP3 party, by dumping Microsoft’s Windows Media format for DRM-free as it plans to offer copy protection-free music downloads by spring. The DRM-free tracks, will only be available purchased music. Napster's subscription customers must of course deal with DRM copy protection while also getting a price hike in their monthly service fees! Obviously, another nail in the coffin for DRM, but is this the beginning of the end of subscriptions?
