Legendary rock band Pink Floyd have won a legal injunction against record label EMI, preventing the label from selling individual songs through digital means. The band argued this was against their 1999 contract, which stated that albums weren’t allowed to be sold in any but their original configuration, and EMI countered that this only applied to physical copies. The judge sided with the band, so you can expect individual tracks to be pulled from the iTunes store shortly.

According to the Telegraph, this is the first time a band has successfully prevented a label from selling individual versions of tracks, and this marks a milestone for artistic control of digital media.
