In the videogame world, GOG.com are the new golden standard of DRM free done right. Only a small number of their games are free, but the complete lack of DRM, the full Windows 7 compatibility of games that were initially made for Windows 98, and the fact they actually do nice things for their customers, has made that site a roaring success since they opened about a year ago.

They recently reached 6,000,000 unique downloads and elebrated by giving their entire current catalog of games for free to the person that made that download. The rest of us got a free game that would normally be $9.99 (their highest price point).

GOG.com have very loyal fans.
