Apple and EMI Group will reveal a ground-breaking deal on Monday for Apple to sell the music label’s songs free from copy protection limits, The Wall Street Journal<\/i> reported on Sunday.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n
\nThe report said music giant EMI plans to sell “significant amounts” of its catalog without anti-piracy software, citing people familiar with the matter, and that the music label is considering not only Apple’s iTunes stores but other outlets.\n<\/p>\n
\nHowever, a separate source familiar with the situation told Reuters a Beatles deal was not the focus of Monday’s event. “There is no Beatles’ announcement,” the source said.\n<\/p>\n
\nEMI has acted as the distributor for the Beatles since the early 1960s, but the Fab Four’s music holding company Apple Corps has been a high-profile hold-out from Internet music services like Apple’s iTunes.\n<\/p>\n
\nSpokesmen for Apple and EMI declined to comment on the newspaper report.\n<\/p>\n
\nEMI said earlier on Sunday that the company will hold a news conference on Monday at its London headquarters, where EMI Chief Executive Eric Nicoli will be joined by Apple Chief Executive and co-founder Steve Jobs.\n<\/p>\n
