EMI and Apple to remove DRM from most of their music on iTunes

Btw I barf everytime I hear some people converting lossless to lossless : digital crap.
Unless there is some new revelation about how encoders work, lossless to lossless is... Lossless
And about the topic, I think DRM free is great. It is a step in the right direction. But I still wouldn't buy lossy files for that much.
If their objective is beating piracy, then having lossy files that cost money is not as good as free, possibly lossless music on P2P. The record companies will never give out free music, so the only way to beat piracy is to offer higher quality music.
