Unless I'm missing something, this headline is misleading. All that happened is that the patents on the codec expired, so the mp3 format can no longer be licensed. I don't understand how this is supposed to be tantamount to "killing" the format.

Brendan's just so great. When he remixed Ten, he didn't really mess with the levels. He just pulled back maybe a little on the effects and the reverb. The new mix is just a little bit crisper. In the last 25 years, the way we listen to music is so different. People have gotten used to a lot of clarity at the top end. I think he really brought a lot of that out.
