Another Publishers Ditches DRM on Audio Books

March 3, 2008 Posted by Michael

According to the  New York Times Penguin Group is the next published (after Random House) to announce the end of DRM on their audio books. "HarperCollins said the publisher was watching these developments closely but was not yet ready to end D.R.M." I’m not holding my breath on HC because of their recent "protected" releases of free e-books.
