I cannot find any additional news about whether or not it’s now official. Will the tracks be available for sale via iTunes?

This is not could for artists trying to get into the official Irish chart. Why? because IRMA’s change in download policy.

IRMA’s new policy is a good thing but it means that living/touring/recording artists are now competing with the beatles, queen, elvis etc.

Um Rowan,

I’m not sure where you live but if you lived in Ireland, it is illegal to rip tracks off CDs according to IRMA!

Well ok … yay! I suppose … But I have all my favourite Beatles tracks in my iTunes library already because I legally ripped them from my CD collection. (Just as Steve Jobs did for the keynote earlier on in January.)

So what’s the big whup? Has anyone seen any high-end research which breaks down the percentages of ripped / legally downloaded / illegally downloaded music stored on iPods all over the globe?
