Amazon’s MP3 Store Doesn’t Have Listening Tax

I’ve been checking out (for want of an infinitely better phrasal verb) Amazon’s shiny new mp3 store. Most of the 2million+ tracks are selling for 89cents (which is practically zero pounds sterling), but the big selling point is that all of the available tracks are DRM-free. Which reminds me:

Dan O'Connor

Dan is responsible for translating social media research into the analytic and conceptual frameworks which underpin the team’s product and service development. He is particularly interested in how social media has changed the ways in which people exchange information within networks, and the impact that these changes have had on traditionally top-down information systems, such as those prevalent within the health, education and NGO sectors, where he leads RMM’s activities.

Dan’s focus upon health and education stems from his background in academia: He has a PhD in History and, as well as being Head of Research at RMM, he is a member of faculty at the Berman Institute of Bioethics at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. He has published and lectured widely on the ethics of social media use within healthcare systems, and is involved in the application of social media in medical education at Johns Hopkins hospital.

Dan likes cooking, martinis, and irony. Frequently at the same time.
