DRM free Warner Music next on iTunes?

While reading Liz’s post about Lala, a light bulb went off: Warner Music Group has started offering DRM free music, just like EMI. “When they (Lala) go live users will be able to buy unencrypted AACS files,” she writes. EMI was the first major music label to offer DRM free music.

It makes perfect sense to expect them to be on the iTunes Plus store as well, after all what is good for the goose, is good for the gander. Could it be Warner Tuesday on the iTunes store?

Close: Warner finally released their catalog on the Japanese iTS, so apparently there is some talking going on.
