If this had happened yeserday I would have thought it a joke. This is huge news and a giant victory for those of us that have been fighting for our digital rights.
I have stopped using iTunes for years now. Looks like I will have to install it and download a few of the unprotected tracks! If you feel strongly about this, please show EMI, iTunes, and the world that DRM is NOT the answer. Support EMI and buy a track. Even if you don't use an iPod. Even if you don't like Apple. Even if you hate EMI. I can't stress this enough. This could be the move that changes the digital landscape. Trust me, EVERYONE will be watching. The entire fate of DRM and its future use could be decided with how well EMI does with their music sales.
If you value fair use, if you value competition, if you value being in control of your media not your media in control of you; go buy a track.
