Agreed the 4chan hack was horrible for those guys - Justin Fowler

haha not an April fools joke :) - Maya Baratz

@shivanand iTunes Store still not DRM-free yet - Vinko

and can you get previous purchases drm free? - Shawn McCollum

@Vinko I thought Daring Fireball just said that he noticed Apple store going DRM free! http://bit.ly/13JSN - Shivanand Velmurugan

iTunes Plus is now telling my I can upgrade (at the usual $0.30 cost) a huge chunk of my previously-purchased music to DRM-free, but not the majority of it. Still it looks like they did flip a switch somewhere since the number of tracks I can upgrade is several times the number I could upgrade yesterday. - Karim

So what they mean by 'all tracks' DRM free, is that you need to upgrade to iTunes Plus to get rid of the DRM? - RAD Moose

at least for *previously purchased*, DRM-protected music, it looks like you still need to "upgrade" at cost. Though at 30 cents per track, it's really not the ♫ end of the world as we know it. ♫ - Karim

I will stick with my DRM'd music then, it really hasn't affected me. - Spencer

Almost $64 for me... - Lee Hinde

Depends on how much you have bought so far.. as well as if it will be 60 cents per 69 cent track in the future. =) guess I should have asked for iTunes Gift Cards for Christmas =D - RAD Moose

Look out for a profits boost as people upgrade tracks. If 5% of the six billion songs sold get upgraded, that's around $90 million in additional revenue, at minimal cost to Apple. - Ian Betteridge

whoa, look another "Susan" on Friendfeed! hai! - Susan Beebe
