Apple to sell DRM-FREE music in itunes music store

[disciple]

Apple Inc has agreed to start selling digital songs from its iTunes store without copy protection software.

At present, most music downloaded from Apple's iTunes store can only be played through an iTunes interface or iPod.

The new agreement with Sony BMG, Universal, and Warner Music will end digital rights management (DRM)software currently attached to iTunes music.

The changes were announced at the end of the keynote address, at the Macworld conference in San Francisco

You need to pay to remove the drm...30c US a song, 60c per video.

And this isn't the first time iTunes is selling DRM Free.
iTunes always had iTunes+ running in the background where you can buy a good chunk of songs drm free, but I'm glad they're doing the whole catalogue now.
