Hallalujah! As some of you probably know, my main source of music these days is iTunes. I've downloaded hundreds of tracks from the service and I'm pretty happy with the deal I'm getting. However, I'm all for competion and was excited when Amazon announced that they where going to opening a DRM-free store. However, as with most things it was only availible in the US, starting in September. I applaud Amazon for jumping on the DRM-free bandwagon. But the fact that it's probably going to take 6 months to a year to get the store here in Canada. We've had iTunes in Canada over 4 years now. And we just got TV shows back in November. Bands, that I would be happy buying are not on the iTunes store in Canada probably due to "licencing issues". I can only hope that Amazon is much better at this. I really hope it's not a half-assed attempt at robbing me of my .99 cents. Please Amazon, please, bring it here soon.
