According to The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) it would seem that brave move by Apple to sell their music without DRM (iTunes Plus) has resulted in sales increase by 350%, that’s even after there being a few teething problems when iTunes plus was launched.

Although an element of this surge will be novelty factor, even having allowed for that the increase in sales, it is a clear testament to how much people loath the idea of DRM.  Hopefully other labels will now follow EMI’s lead.

Another exciting development is that V2 have signed up with WE7 – the new free download site as long as you’re happy to accept small adverts attached to the front of the MP3.
