EMI, Apple Pioneer DRM-Free Agreement
by Tony C on April 2, 2007
Forget seeing the Beatles on iTunes this week, but what you will see next month is EMI artists (not including the Walrus, et. al.) offering their music DRM-free. In addition to the usual $0.99 offering, songs will now be available at a new price point, $1.29, which will give you a higher quality version that is also DRM-free. Check out the announcement on Apple’s site, and the webcast on EMI’s site. Wow, maybe we should have seen this coming, but I guess I’m surprised that it happened so quickly. Stay tuned for more discussion on the ramifications of this announcement.
Finally! DRM free & higher quality files on iTunes!
