iTunes now officially DRM free

I have to commend Apple for what is an awesome positive step in the right direction by making some 8 million songs in their iTunes catalogue DRM free. Furthermore they plan to make an additional 10 million songs DRM free within the first quarter of 2009. Sweet.
There's a catch though (isn't there always?) and that is if you want any of your existing songs to be DRM free as well, you have to pay for them again. Only at $0.30 each, but that's still $30 on a measly 100 song catalogue. Ouch.
In any event, going DRM free is the right thing to do. I never thought I would say these words: Kudos to Apple.
The fact that Apple is still going to make you poay to get a DRM free copy of a song you already paid for makes call shenanigans. Not the fun cheeky kind of shenanigans either.
