Well, this is good news. Unless they're ramping up some new DRM scheme - 
and what I was afraid the article was saying is probably how the RIAA 
would like it to be....

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the 
lights shining sideways when the night is down, or going in 
strange places with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing 
behind, or drawn to the cities where you'd hear a voice 
kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the ditch, 
and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing 
from your heart.
