Fans, labels are split on unlocked music plan

A world without digital handcuffs on downloaded music sounds pretty good to Eston Bond, a 21-year old senior at the University of Michigan.

Bond, a self-proclaimed music lover, is sick of the anti-piracy software that limits how he can listen to music downloaded from Apple Inc.’s iTunes and other online stores. If it weren’t for those restrictions, he said, he’d buy a lot more music — and listen to it in more ways.

“It would free up a fair amount of my music collection to play on other audio players, and not be locked in to an iPod,” Bond said.
