Default eBook Publishers Phase Out DRM On Audio Books

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/03/business/media/03audiobook.html

"Some of the largest book publishers in the world are stripping away the anticopying software on digital downloads of audio books. The trend will allow consumers who download audio books to freely transfer these digital files between devices like their computers, iPods and cellphones — and conceivably share them with others. Dropping copying restrictions could also allow a variety of online retailers to start to sell audio book downloads."

I sure hope Audible follows suit. Their library is fantastic, but their software is the worst EVAR!
