EMI songs are to be sold on iTunes without DRM and at a higher bit rate for a bit extra cash... Now this is a significant step in the right direction and I have to confess a surprise! We're all agreed that DRM is a clumsy and often inadequate experience, but normally it's been the rights holders forcing it. Stunning news.

Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.

EMI are the last company I'd have thought to go DRM-less. Mind you, their profits are flailing - they must realise this is a real money-spinner for them.Good news!
