This is essentially the same issue Penny Arcade ran into with their infamous American McGee's Strawberry Shortcake comic.

You can parody American McGee's Alice, you can parody Strawberry Shortcake, but you can't parody one by using the other.

EMI May Sell Entire Collection as DRM-less MP3s 188

Posted by Zonk on Friday February 09, 2007 @10:23AM from the and-away-we-go dept.

BobbyJo writes "According to the Chicago Sun-Times, EMI has been pitching the possibility of selling its entire music collection to the public in MP3 form ... without Digital Rights Management protections. According to the article, several other major music companies have considered this same route, but none as far as EMI. The reasons, of course, have nothing to do with taking a moral stand; EMI wants to compete with Apple. 'The London-based EMI is believed to have held talks with a wide range of online retailers that compete with Apple's iTunes. Those competing retailers include RealNetworks Inc., eMusic.com, MusicNet Inc. and Viacom Inc.'s MTV Networks. People familiar with the matter cautioned that EMI could still abandon the proposed strategy before implementing it. A decision about whether to keep pursuing the idea could come as soon as today.'"
