EMI Goes DRM Free (My Take)

The recent announcement of EMI that their iTunes music will be DRM is pretty cool here are two things of note that I haven't heard mentioned.
1) The 30 cent premium, is a "tax" for the potential piracy, it was a great PR move for them to offset this by offering higher quality files, thus making it a quality issue to gloss over this tax
2) People have complained that AAC isn't as open as they'd like. They are missing the fact iTunes has a convert to mp3 option for tracks that are DRM free.
