AppleInsider:

Apple is believed to be on the verge of an end-of-year push that would start by finally offering unprotected iTunes Store music from all major labels and would switch a special post-holiday campaign giving away music and videos to Europeans.

We'll see if that plays out but I have to think Apple wants to move that way. Not out of the goodness of their hearts, of course - out of a desire to keep up with the Amazon MP3 Store. I've been buying stuff from there, and the process is utterly seamless - you buy the music, and the DRM-free tracks land right in iTunes.

I sure hope this is true - I'd like more DRM-free options, and the iTunes store is easy to use.
