Zune 2 could take DRM-free route

It is interesting to note that folks in Europe have not even picked up the first Zune, and word on the street already has it that the second Zune has already been confirmed Stateside. What’s even more groundbreaking would be the news of Microsoft using DRM-free music to shift more Zunes – something that is the total opposite of the existing Zune sharing system that requires DRM. Should this news byte be true, it would definitely be nice to see this turnabout from Microsoft that will at least put it on equal footing with iTunes and Amazon’s AmazonMP3 store.
