EMI had been thinking of this for a while.
They were already selling selected tracks w/o DRM, I think, before Steve posted his open letter. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2007-0...tion_x.htm
Steve got another win, however, because he gets to claim that he's offering twice the quality at only a 30% price premium.
I predict Sony/BMG will probably be next to fall.
Warner will be the last holdout, but they sell the most music.
