Cheers to iTunes!

To paraphrase Peter Griffin – “It’s about freakin’ time!”

Apple announced that by April, 80% of it’s music library will be DRM-Free.  No copy protection.  You can do what you want with the files. On the flipside, tiered pricing will be making an appearance - .69, .99, or 1.29 for songs purchased through iTunes, set by the record labels.

Either way, I think it’s the final death knell for DRM.  At least they are starting to treat their customers as customers and not criminals.
