Techcrunch reports that EMI and Apple have just announced that they will be selling DRM Free music on iTunes at a premium rate of $1.29 a song. This is in all probability the beginning of the end of DRM, especially for music. DRM was a bad idea, both in concept and execution, and the fact that a major label has decided to go this route is a big step. A few things still irk me though. Why sell the DRM free music for $0.30 a track more than their crippled music? Why not simply replace the DRM'ed tracks...
