Robbie Williams, Iron Maiden and Corinne Bailey Rae will shortly have their music available in a DRM-free format via retailers including Burger King.
The fast food chain is to distribute a series of codes offering its customers the opportunity to download a pre-paid, DRM-free EMI track from a campaign website.
Links through to online retailers will offer customers the opportunity to purchase other EMI tracks.
EMI Music has agreed a deal with Chicago-based digital agency VerveLife to offer its client list, which includes Burger King, the opportunity to use DRM-free music for promotional purposes.
It follows the majors’ decision to drop DRM protection of its digital music in order to ensure that consumers can play the track purchased on any device.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Brian May, the lead guitarist from rock band Queen, is close to earning his doctorate in astrophysics — more than 35 years after quitting his studies to become a rock star.
May arrived on the island of La Palma in Spain’s Canary Islands several days ago to conduct astronomical observations in support of his thesis, according to a statement by the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands.
His thesis, “Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud,” is the last component of his PhD studies, and May expected to complete his work on Wednesday.
“Maybe you’d like to see the Telescope we are working in,” May, 60, wrote on his Web site on Wednesday.
“Galileo … Galileo … how full of coincidences life is,” he added, referring to the lyrics in Queen’s hit song “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
After submitting his thesis at Imperial College, London, he will have to wait until university assessors approve his work to be granted his PhD next year.
May was studying astrophysics at Imperial College when he formed Queen with singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor in 1970. He dropped his doctorate research into interstellar dust as the band met with increasing success.
After Mercury’s AIDS-related death in 1991, May recorded several solo albums and set up the Brian May Band.

“Lil Wayne was arraigned late Monday on a felony charge of gun-possession in connection with his arrest Sunday night following his first headlining New York show.
According to attorney Stacey Richman, Wayne (born Dwayne Carter Jr.) was released Monday evening on $70,000 bond and will appear in court again in November on the charge, which carries a minimum prison sentence of three and a half years (see “Lil Wayne Arrested On Gun-Possession Charge In New York”). Richman said the arrest — and another one just hours before of Ja Rule on similar gun-possession charges (see “Ja Rule Arrested, Charged With Weapons Possession”) — was puzzling to her.
“He [Wayne] was in the bus in his boxer shorts with a number of other people,” Richman told MTV News. “Unless his boxer shorts had a pocket for this gun, I don’t understand how he had it on him.”
Though some reports have quoted prosecutors describing a scenario in which Wayne tossed a bag containing the .40-caliber pistol as police entered the bus, Richman said her numerous witness interviews have not confirmed that version of events.
Several hip-hop artists who joined Lil Wayne onstage Sunday night had run-ins with the police and Beacon Theatre security outside the venue prior to the show (see “Kanye West, Ja Rule, Juelz Santana Jump Onstage For Lil Wayne’s First-Ever NYC Solo Show”).
Richman’s father and legal partner, famed hip-hop attorney Murray Richman, claimed the arrest was a result of an action by New York’s police-detective “hip-hop squad,” which “staked out the [tour] bus.” Murray Richman added that the .40-caliber gun police found in the bus was in the same area in which Wayne was changing clothes and was a legally registered handgun, but did not belong to the rapper. More puzzling to the attorneys is why the other 12 to 20 people on the bus were not arrested along with Wayne, given New York laws that require that everyone in a vehicle with an unclaimed gun be charged if that vehicle is searched by police.
The other person arrested in the incident along with Wayne was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession, given a desk-appearance ticket and released. Prosecutors claim that as police closed in on the bus — which they said they approached after smelling marijuana — the man charged with marijuana possession allegedly flushed 7 ounces of the substance down the bus’ toilet, according to Jennifer Kushner, a spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. The marijuana was retrieved and introduced into evidence.
A New York Police Department spokesperson would not comment on the Richmans’ assertions, citing the ongoing investigation. The prosecutor’s office would also not comment further on the Richmans’ allegations that the incident was selective policing by the “hip-hop squad” of the NYPD or explain why the other people on the bus were not brought in on the same gun charge as Wayne.”
