The iTunes Store is an online digital media store operated by Apple. Opening on the 28th of April, 2003, with more than 200,000 items to buy, it was, by April 2008, the no.1 music store in the United States of America. On the 24th of February, 2010, the store reached a major milestone by serving its ten billionth song download. This was a great achievement as it was completed in just a shade below seven years of being online. iTunes sells 70% of the world’s online digital music. This makes the store the biggest legal music vendor. While most of the downloaded music files have formerly included boundaries on their use, generally imposed by FairPlay, Apple's execution of digital rights management, iTunes shifted into marketing DRM-free music, marketed as iTunes Plus. On the 6th of January, 2009, Apple made an announcement that DRM had been detached from 80% of the whole music catalog in the USA.
The store began when Apple signed lucrative deals with the 5 major record labels at that time, namely, EMI, Universal Studios, Warner Brothers Inc, BMG and Sony Music Entertainment. Music from almost 2,000 independent labels was added later.
