Apple and EMI offer DRM-free Music

[Gundampilotspaz]

Apple and EMI will be holding a joint press conference at 1pm London time, 8am EDT, to discuss “an exciting new digital offering.”

Late last week, a MacRumors source indicated that the event would revolve around the removal of Digital Rights Management (DRM) from EMI tracks in the iTunes store. Unverifiable at the time, we did not publish the information until yesterday, which has since been echoed from the Wall Street Journal.

We will update this story periodically throughout the event as new information becomes available.

Confirmed: DRM-free Music: MacRumors user stomer has found slides from further in the webcast that confirm that the announcement will revolve around “DRM-free tracks at twice the sound quality.“

*Epic music plays as angels sing a song of pure joy*

Nothing more can really be said. A new age has begun? That might be going too far…. but hey, it’s a start.
