Universal Music Group to offer free, legal (and DRM) downloads Yes, it's true. One of the biggies of the music industry is partnering with a new ad-supported music service, SpiralFrog, to offer free music downloads later this year. But don't expect to be able to burn CDs from your downloads or share them with friends. According to SpiralFrog's press release, "Digital rights management technology is built-in to all audio and video content as part of measures the company and its partners are actively taking to address piracy."
