DRM beat?

Apple's iTunes Plus has arrived, and with it the usual 40 MB software download. Things were extremely hectic in the iTunes Store last night, which I find heartening: the idea that people will pay a smidgen (okay, 30 percent, but still) more for proper downloads without all that DRM crap has always seemed at least somewhat plausible to me, and I'd like to think that there were lots of like-minded individuals queued up to try it out. I was amused to see an offer to upgrade any titles I'd already bought to the Plus version; I'll probably take 'em up on it this weekend. (I mean, what's sixty cents? You can barely get penny candy for 60 cents these days.)

I also plan to buy some tracks with which I am overly familiar, just for comparison purposes. (I mean, I don't need any more Pink Floyd or Sinatra.)
