Story: Apple wants music to be DRM-free

Good idea, but...

... it may be a condition of the big four that no non-DRM'd music be sold in the same store. Certainly, if I were Universal, the last thing I'd want is a superior product showing mine up - and when it comes to iTunes, the labels set the rules.

I don't know of any mixed DRM and non-DRM online music shop; it's all or nothing (I vote for nothing, which is why Rupert Goodwins shops exclusively at bleep.com. Unpaid advert.)

I will ask Apple whether they've considered this, but as Apple never answer our questions I can only recommend that you don't wait underwater.

Now is the time to start taking this danger VERY seriously. This is big and very nasty business in action. The objective seems absolutely clear. Destroy GPL and 'steal' all the technology. An activity with plenty of precedence.
