EMI/Apple Deal = Higher Prices? (And Investigation)

So EMI and Apple are taking the digital locks off music tracks. “The announcement by Apple and EMI was tempered by news that the companies may face an investigation into anti-competitive behaviour. The European commission has sent formal charges to major record companies and Apple, alleging that they are restricting music sales in Europe, a commission spokesman said last night. The spokesman said agreements between Apple and the record companies face an antitrust inquiry.”
