Yahoo! Music Head Calls For Downloads Without Restrictions

Yahoo! Music chief Dave Goldberg took a bold step yesterday at the Music 2.0 conference in LA by suggesting that the major record labels should try selling music online without copy protection.

According to reports, Goldberg pointed to the success of eMusic which offers MP3 files of hundreds of independent labels without  any  digital rights management. Rights management restrictions create frustration for consumers making it a harder or impossible to transfer music to portable devices and creating incompatibility between music services and MP3 players, according to Goldberg.
