That would be sweet.iTunes store goes global starting in all countries where iPhone is sold. Purchases will be of course DRM free. But to get agreement for that from labels Apple agreed to provide also subscription scheme. DRM for subscriptions will be licensed also to 3rd party hardware producers. Some major partners will be announced.
Might be nice.^^^Yeah, I should have added "subscription model" to my last post. That's coming.
Maybe we will see a layered iTMS.subscription won't be happened this time. never. global store? it can't happened neither. copy right management is big trouble in some countries like China, Korea, Russia. we can't see it yet. there are a lot of songs already DRM free.
Layer one is for worldwide access. Anybody can DL music or movies offered via this store.
Layer two is for region specific. You can only DL music or movies offered in your particular region via this store.
