iTunes Moves Towards DRM Free

We’ve been critical of Apple in recent weeks for not getting serious about going DRM free and making
available the hundreds of thousands of great tracks that indie labels already sold without copy protection on eMusic and elsewhere. 

Now comes word that iTunes has informed partners that "they would soon be able to offer DRM-free music and DRM-free music videos to customers through iTunes".  "Soon" is a bit vague for my taste but it appears Jobs should be applauded for doing more than just talk the talk.
