EMI (along with Steve Jobs) announced today that it will be offering its entire digital music library DRM-free on iTunes. The DRM-free tunes will be available for $1.29 each, but if you’ve already purchased the same song for $0.99, you’ll only need to pay the difference. I read it first at TechCrunch.
Speaking of Steve Jobs, iTunes recently added a new feature called “Complete My Album.” Now if you purchase a $0.99 song on iTunes and decide later that you’d rather have the entire album, you can complete your purchase for $9.00, instead of paying for the same song over again. I always assumed this was how it worked, but then again, I always buy albums. Visit Digital Music News for the entire story.
Aversion reported that Bono was recently knighted in Britain. More specifically, he earned the distinct honor of Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. What the hell does it mean to be a knight nowadays?

So I have to pay more to get the correct version of a song. Don’t see the benefit of that.
Isn’t Bono Irish. Isn’t he the same guy who wrote a song called ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’? I’m confused, somebody explain this to me.
Yeah, he’s a touchhole. Bono does, however, have a buttload of money.
This EMI news is troubling, and I am sure Greg will have something to say about it this week.
