EMI and iTunes

EMI Group said it will begin selling songs online that are free of copy-protection technology through Apple's iTunes Store., but the deal does not include music from The Beatles. The unprotected songs will be sold for $1.29 and are of higher quality than the $.99 songs. Consumers are willing to pay more for music that they will be able to use on any device. EMI is still working on getting The Beatles catalog. Online music sales are expected to increase with the introduction of this deal into the market.
