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.
