EMI Records will be the first label to bring DRM-free content to iTunes
Posted on April 2nd, 2007 by Triston McIntyre

emilogo.jpgAs with any Apple news, we were happy to jump on the recent Apple announcement that Steve Jobs would be making some sort of announcement tomorrow in London, England, with a special guest appearance by an unnamed band. We automatically put two and two together, and thought lofty thoughts about the Beatles finally making an appearance in the iTunes repertoire.

Apple has announced that tomorrow will signify something fairly significant to the future of iTunes; EMI Records, the label who has worked with the likes of Iron Maiden and Pink Floyd, will be the first to allow much of its content to be available on iTunes, completely DRM-free.

Though many of us are devote Beatles fans, the first steps down the DRM-free iTunes path are enough to make us squeal like little school-girls. Steve, we’ll take it.

Who knows, we don’t want to jinx it, but maybe we’ll see a bundle package of EMI and the Beatles tomorrow in London. Get your basket of fish ‘n’ chips and key up Apple.Blorge.com for more announcements regarding Apple’s press release tomorrow!
