Apple removes DRM

Good news for music fans today. Apple the giants that own the ever popular music site itunes have finally revealed plans to remove their digital copy protections from their downloads. in the past Apple have faced controversy & criticism over their digital rights management system - for me personally that’s the exact reason why I avoided using itunes. Apple used the digital rights to stop music from being shared & downloaded onto other devices. Finally faced with so much competition from similar sites they have no choice but to get rid of the system but real question is will it make so much of a difference as people will always find ways to get the material for less or in most cases for nothing, it looks like a little too late but then time will tell as they have also started to slash the prices of certain albums & tunes.
