EMI DRM-Free Music Selling Well

From the O-RLY files, we have EMI who recently started selling DRM-free music on iTunes. Not surprisingly, it’s selling quite well. Pink Floyd’s amazing Dark Side of the Moon album had sales go up 350% in the first week, and is still hovering at 272%. If stats like that aren’t enough of a hint to music companies, I have no idea what could be.

Although the iTunes Store was the first online store through which EMI sold its DRM-free tracks, Amazon recently said that it will also be selling DRM-free EMI songs through its newly-announced music store later this year.
