Mon 04 Apr 2007EMI, Apple to sell DRM-free music

EMI has done a deal with Apple to sell its music through the iTunes store without digital rights management (DRM) anti-piracy measures.

The tracks will be available on iTunes at twice the sound quality of existing downloads, in a DRM-free format of the user's choice, for €1.29 - more than the current €0.99 that Apple charges.
