EMI removed DRM from music (and music videos) sold on the iTunes Store. Available worldwide in May. I wrote about Apple and DRM in an earlier post and it’s really interesting to see what the impact of this release on the overall market and discussion on digital rights management. Next stage in the digital music revolution is here. From Apple’s press release:
“DRM-free tracks from EMI will be offered at higher quality 256 kbps AAC encoding, resulting in audio quality indistinguishable from the original recording, for just $1.29 per song. In addition, iTunes customers will be able to easily upgrade their entire library of all previously purchased EMI content to the higher quality DRM-free versions for just 30 cents a song.”
