Apparently, with or without DRM, the music industry is moving ahead. In light of the Universal/Virgin announcement yesterday, Nokia is apparently moving forward with their DRM-enabled “Comes With Music” offering. According to Digital Music News

It really is interesting how some of these news outlets are so fixated on DRM as if it were the driving reason behind the music industry’s woes. In one way it is because the labels enabled Apple to grow so large and so fast with iTunes that they didn’t have to license FairPlay DRM for the iPod. On the other hand it’s sad to continually see writers confused in their publications and confused about the real issues at hand.

Comes with Music has been rumored to be headed to the States later this year. More to come once we get an update from Nokia.
