Apple Rumored To Be Turning iTunes Into a DRM-Free Music Store

We can't count the number of times we've heard from one random source or another that Apple was about to pull the trigger on a subscription-based / 100-percent DRM-free music service, and given how those have worked out in the past, we'd highly recommend taking this one with a huge dose of salt.

French site ElectronLibre has it that Apple will finally offer up all of its music in DRM-free form starting as early as today, specifically calling out Sony, Universal and Warner as outfits who would join the protection-free cause. Should this happen, it would obviously be a dream come true for ole Steve, but we're still left to wonder what would happen to bitrates, prices and (potentially most important) all other iTMS content. Something tells us Hollywood isn't quite as ready to release its death grip. [Via AppleInsider]
