Don’t know what to say on this front except I’m totally speechless. It’s only a matter of time now before the rest of the labels are forced to crawl out from under the luddite rock that they’ve been hiding under, and follow EMI’s brilliant move into the non-DRM arena.

Note to EMI Executives: As soon as it becomes available, I will immediately go through my purchased music from iTunes, and upgrade all EMI albums to DRM-Free, happily paying the extra 30 cents per track. After that, I will find and buy more DRM-Free EMI albums just to celebrate this glorious day. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
