    iTune's - finally, the end of DRM!

    Finally, the end of the DRM nonsense is in sight. Hopefully this will set a precedence that others will follow.

    From the MacWorld keynote http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/l...-2009-keynote/

    10:28AM "By the end of this quarter, all 10 million songs will be DRM free." About time!

    10:27AM "Next, iTunes Plus -- it's DRM free, and much higher quality. We've worked with all the major companies... starting today, 8 million songs will be DRM free." Huge cheers.

    10:26AM "Over the last six years songs have been $0.99 -- music companies want more flexibility. New pricing, $0.69, and another tier at $1.29."

    Great news. The DRM has never really bothered me, but I welcome the higher bitrate.

      Wow, cool. I was about to launch into the iTunes world and download a bunch of old "good memories" songs from my life, that I don't own. Guess I should hold off, though, so I get better quality and no DRM!

      Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.
