Not only will EMI songs be DRM free, but they will also be available at twice the bitrate of other songs on iTunes. There is a catch though, single DRM free tracks will cost $1.29 per single, however, the lower bitrate version will still be available for $.99. As another bonus, the album and music video price will not change and stay at the current $9.99 and $1.99, and you will be able to "upgrade" your current tracks for $.30. These service will be made available this May.
Incase you're wondering, a few EMI artists are Beastie Boys, The Beatles, Gorillaz, Radiohead, and The Rolloing Stones.
