Apple CEO Steve Jobs got some flak for his call for DRM-free music a while back, with some people saying that it's for publicity and the like, but it looks like Apple is really gung-ho about going the DRM-free route.

According to MacRumors.com, the Cupertino-based company sent short notices to their iTunes partners yesterday to let them know that they would soon be able to offer DRM-free music music videos to customers through the iTunes service. Apple is currently gearing up for contract renegotiations with Here's a quote of what the notice reportedly says:

Many of you have reached out to iTunes to find out how you can make your songs available higher quality and DRM-free. Starting next month, iTunes will begin offering higher-quality, DRM-free music and DRM-free music videos to all customers.
