| | Posted: | | | | Apple is removing copy protection on iTunes now making it possible to copy songs to play on other devices. They're also dropping the price on some songs, depending of Recording Company, to 0.69 cent per song. Good move, and about time  | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | My reading of the article is not that there will be no DRM, but that they will have at least an option of no DRM for every song. Another article I saw said there is an extra .30 charge for the no DRM option, so it'll still be .99 for a non-DRM song, or possibly 1.29 if the record label want more money. So not quite as rosy a picture, but we'll see what they actually do. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | I just checked they want me to pay another € 67,26 to make my 364 titles, I bought in the past, DRM-free. And they call that an "offer"  |

| | Posted: | | | | Well, 0,18 per song seems reasonable, I wasn't expecting a freebie...

| | Posted: | | | | Why worry about it? There are a number of good programs on the market (mostly European origin) that remove DRM for streaming video, MP3, and Mac files. Spend the money on that instead of giving those clowns an extra $.30 per song just because they're paranoid. | | | John

And they call that an "offer" If you average $.25 a song, that's $91.00 US just to get what you ought to have in the first place from the gitgo. You can buy a good DRM remover for $20.00. Save the other $71.00 for more DVDs. | | | John
