The Null Device

Looks like BMG has its eyes on EMI; under the proposed deal, EMI would acquire the Big Mean German, in return for a large stake in itself. The Reg says that this could be good for Napster and more liberal online business models; could be moving in this direction, as neither BMG nor EMI are as hard-line as, say, Sony and Universal. (OTOH, we probably can't expect non-proprietary, unencrypted downloadable media of any sort from any of the majors, which means that you'll still need to use Windows to play downloads.)
