The Big Bad Guy Vs. The Geeky Good Guy: Everyone's favorite love-to-hate-em corporation, Wal-Mart, became the uncertain man of the hour today when they took on Apple in the race to release DRM-Free music.
Apple currently sells copy protection-free digital music for $1.29 a song, thirty cents more per unit than their limited copy versions. Wal-Mart is beating both of those prices by offering the same songs, copy protection-free, for only ninety-four cents each.
We're pretty excited. Apple was quickly becoming Mr. Moneybags in some sort of DRM-Free monopoly. While we love them, we love free-market enterprise more.
