We at Nokia have not said that we will not continue to support alternative music business models than DRM-protected music content distribution. What we have said is that we will add a business model for music distribution which we do not have on Maemo yet i.e. DRM protected content. If we want take open source based consumer electronics to mainstream then we have to enable all common content distribution business models: DRM and non-DRM protected content.
