A year after iTunes began offering music without copy protection software from EMI, Apple is in discussions with the other three top recording companies about acquiring DRM-free songs, according to two music industry sources, reports CNET.
The talks are still preliminary and no deals have been finalized, but one source said one of the major labels is close to a final agreement, the article adds. There have been rampant rumors that Sony would soon be offering music without the controversial digital rights management software, but CNET says their sources couldn’t confirm this.
