Wonder if we'll see new kit as well as music. Hopefully not an April
1st joke from the BBC.

The Inquirer reports that the WSJ thinks that they might be about to
release "large chunks" of their back catalogue without DRM on
(presumably) iTunes.

That would be interesting and would allow Apple to put their money where
their mouth is, so to speak.

How much money have Apple got in the bank? Enough to be able to pay the
big bucks I'd expect them to have to pay to do this.

i'm "in" with some "industry insiders" and it is indeed to do with
killing DRM. Apple won't be paying anything for it though! Not like
the store makes them any real money apart from selling iPods...
