Apple Launches iTunes Plus
On Wednesday, Apple released an update to iTunes (US) that added DRM-free AAC music files to the iTunes Store. Dubbed iTunes Plus, the new version of iTunes will allow you to either download DRM (Digital Rights Management) files for the standard $0.99 or spend $1.29 on DRM-free songs.In addition to iTunes Plus, Apple added a new section to iTunes 7.2 called iTunes U, where you can download lectures from various universities around the US free of charge. In addition to lectures, many Universities are offering language lessons, lab demonstrations, sports highlights and campus tours. Participating schools currently include Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Duke University and MIT.
It's probably only a matter of time until someone claims that they graduated from "iTunes U."

The thing with DRM is, the people who actually upload the stuff onto BitTorrent etc. wouldn't even used cracked DRM files. They would rip the CD and then upload it. DRM is simply making things difficult for consumers and really doesn't do anything to stop music being shared online.
I like this line...It's probably only a matter of time until someone claims that they graduated from “iTunes U."
I’m psyched to check out some of those lectures. The School of Visual Arts podcast has some good lectures too from Milton Glaser to Jakob Trollback. Thanks for adding me to the e-mails and for the movie hook-ups last week.
