DRM May Be Dead, But It's Still Going to Cost You

The problem here is that to upgrade your old DRM songs, you have to upgrade all of them. You can not pick and chose which ones to upgrade. It is a all or nothing game. In my case, I have purchased 5882 song on iTunes since its inception - 5882 songs x .30¢ = $1764.80 - WOW! Now admittedly about half of those are DRM-free already - still that is a huge amount of money to get to where someone buying today is already getting DRM-free purchases from the get-go at the same price I originally paid.

And the argument about upgrading a car is just crazy, unrelated talk. This does not compare. Most software companies give you free upgrades to versions you have already bought, until there is a new version. Ok, it still the same 'ole song I originally bought - I deserve to have them upgraded for free.
