Microsoft Dropping DRM From Zune Music Store

Microsoft says that it’s dropping DRM from some of the catalog in the Zune store. This is the other shoe-drop we’ve all been waiting for since Apple announced last week that it would sell the entire EMI catalog (albeit at a 30% higher price) without DRM through the iTunes Music Store. Interestingly, Microsoft seems to be implying that it’s going to sell DRM-free tracks from labels other than EMI.

It’s good to see that this was not an exclusive deal with Apple. Now all we need is other record labels to follow suit…
