For sure the vote will be said to not reflect public opinion, but 86% saying there should be less DRM is quite a statistical majority. I'm over the moon that "higher quality" is one of the future intentions, I am tired of trying to listen to great songs that sound like rubbish on any computer.... especially if I paid for them. The future is getting brighter, once you all get to hear a recording at 96Khz then you may understand, just like HDTV. Can everyone stop dumbing down within the argument of "for the sake of the license holders" now, in all spheres?

'In a major change of policy for a record label, EMI is expected to announce later today that it will begin selling songs without copy protection through
Apple's iTunes music store.

Apple's chief executive, Steve Jobs, will attend a press conference
alongside Eric Nicoli, his counterpart at EMI, in London at 1pm today.

According to reports over the weekend, they will announce that EMI is
ditching the anti-piracy technology that currently restricts how people can
copy and listen to their digital music tracks.

The Wall Street Journal reported today that the group will announce that "it plans to sell significant amounts of its catalogue without anti- copying
software".
