At first, Ray LaMontagne might strike you as just another breathy-voiced knockoff of folk/rock guitarists like John Mayer and Jack Johnson. But he's actually got a better voice than either, he tell

Denmark May Follow French DRM Strategy
Sunday, March 26th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Two of Denmarks largest companies, Maersk and TDC, are supporting the introduction of legislation that would require proprietary digital rights management (DRM) technology to be opened up between online music resellers. According to Ars Technica, the two companies run online music stores, and are among the most powerful companies in Europe.
Henrik Olesen, product manager at Maersks Dansk Supermarked, commented "We would like to ask the politicians to follow the route theyre taking in France, so that it becomes as easy as possible for the consumers to purchase music legally. This will in the end mean larger gross sales for all music stores."
It appears that Denmark agrees with the companies. Legislation addressing DRM control is planned for introduction some time in 2007. Brian Mikkelsen, the Danish Minister of Culture, expects that the recording labels will back Denmarks DRM interoperability strategy.
Apple has not commented on the news out of Denmark, but has previously stated that it feels the French law Denmarks may be based on is akin to"state-sponsored piracy."
