Apple has announced that it has reached an agreement with EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner to remove anticopying restrictions from the songs they sell on iTunes. That means users will be able to freely shift the songs they buy between their computers, iPods, phones and other digital devices. This is something I always HATED about iTunes. The bad news is that Apple will still charge 30 cents to change the format on songs previously purchased that have the restrictions.
To go along with that, Apple has allowed the labels to set their own prices for each song.
According to the New York Times:
"... a majority of songs will drop to 69 cents beginning in April, while the biggest hits and newest songs will go for $1.29, Others that are moderately popular will remain at 99 cents."
