Apple announces DRM Free iTunes by end of Q1′09

Apple has announced that iTunes will be going DRM free on all 10 million songs by the end of the first quarter on 2009.  Additionally they have announced they gave the option to record companies a 3-price tier system. $0.69, $0.99, or $1.29 per song.  The corresponding record company for the song you’re downloading will supply that to Apple for its customers.  Engadget reports.

All I have to say is, It’s about time and screw the RIAA.
