Apple iTunes goes DRM Free

Introduced in Macworld 2009, iTunes is now going to be completely DRM-free: 8M songs today, all 10+M by the end of March.

Song pricing will be flexible, as the studios have been demanding; the lowest song price is $0.69. The highest is $1.29. The third price point is $0.99

You can also "upgrade" your current DRM song to be "non DRM" by paying $.30 per song to iTunes.

Another big news in the event was the introduction of the unibody 17" MacBook Pro. As rumored, the battery is not removable, but it's claimed to provide 8 hours of battery life (7 hours with the discrete graphics): "3x the charges and lifespan of the industry standard." $2,799, 2.66 GHz and 4 GB of RAM, 320GB hard drive, shipping at the end of January. There is a battery exchange program, and there is an option for a matte display.

Also Apple has introduced iWorks 2009, a competitor to Google Docs.

People are complaining that the new DRM free iTunes now has the users email address and account info and purchase date embedded in the music son itself.

What they did not know that Apple has been doing that for last one and half years even when they were selling DRM'ed music tracks.
