Furthermore, the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band featured in Steve Jobs' demonstration of the iPhone at Macworld 2007, and EMI CEO recently praised the simplicity of the iPod and iTunes. EMI officials have been close-lipped about the subject of today's event, and the invitation only refers to an "exciting new digital offering" and a "special live performance" by an unnamed guest or guests. Alternative explanations for the event are that it was an elaborate April Fools joke (the invitations were apparently issued yesterday), or that EMI is taking up Jobs' recent challenge to music companies that they should drop DRM on tracks sold through iTunes and other download services.{moscomment} |
