iTunes Drops Copyright Protection – Apple announced at MacWorld that they are eliminating copy protection and will roll out three-tiered pricing on iTunes.
Apple plans to begin selling all tracks without copy protection and is cutting the price of some songs in its market-leading iTunes online music store to 69 cents.
At the Macworld trade show January 6, 2009, Apple’s top marketing executive, Philip Schiller, said iTunes songs would come in three pricing tiers: 69 cents, 99 cents and $1.29, depending on the recording company they come from.
He also said Apple worked with all the major record labels to get songs free of “digital rights management” technology that limits people’s ability to copy songs or move them to different devices.
And that’s the latest on the iTunes Drops Copyright Protection.
