iTunes Rumored to Go DRM-Free Today

• According to a report submitted to AppleInsider by French technology site ElectronLibre, Apple may be poised to drop DRM from all major label tracks on iTunes today (Sony, Universal, and Warner — EMI already went DRM free in April ‘07).
• In what amounts to a giant “f*ck you” to the United States, the report also claims Apple will run a “12 Days of iTunes” promotion that lets users in Germany, France and UK download “unlimited” tracks for a limited time after Christmas. This would be the biggest giveaway in iTunes’s history.
• Will the major labels really give up DRM, effectively surrendering their long and arduous fight against their own customers? Will iTunes actually allow unlimited downloads to a select few countries while leaving their homeland out in the cold? Will little Timmy be able to raise enough money with his lemonade stand to save Christmas? Stay tuned, folks.
