+In case you missed the Slashdot story, Bleep, Warp Record's new music service, is DRM-free: +

+ +
+

+Bleep music has no DRM or copy protection built in. We believe that most people like to be treated as customers and not potential criminals - DRM is easily circumvented and just puts obstacles in the way of enjoying music. +

+Hot on the heels of that announcement, comes this interview with Richard D. James (aka Mr Aphex Twin): +

+ +
+

+Despite the rushed release of Drukqs and the reasons behind that, he thinks "having music for free is a good thing, because I don't think music should be a commodity. I've changed my opinion to and fro over the years, but I really do think there shouldn't be any copyright on art. +

+ +

+"But the thing is, some kid somewhere might be really poor and think, 'If I make the best music in the world, I can get some money and buy a house and some equipment', which is what I thought. So that is a good motivation, as well. You would lose that." +
