- All sites that sell EMI music digitally will have the option of selling DRM-free downloads in AAC, WMA, or MP3 format.
- EMI's DRM-free catalog is being referred to as "premium downloads"; on iTunes, the files will be in unprotected AAC format and twice the sound quality of currently available AACs, and they'll cost $1.29/song.
- The price on full DRM-free albums will be the same as their DRMed-up counterparts.
- Protected AACs from the EMI catalog will still be available for 99 cents/song on iTunes.
- EMI's music videos on iTunes will also be available without DRM.
- EMI will continue to use DRM "as appropriate," i.e. when it's locked into it by a retailer/distribution partner.
