For those of you lame enough to have followed my rants and ravings on here about the RIAA and DRM/5C/CCI, you might remember that I predicted iTunes would go 100% DRM free by the end of 2008. Looks like I was 6 days off.<br>

Look for all the other online music stores to follow suit. I bet they all drop DRM by July. 5C and CCI are next!<br clear="all">
