So, yeah, its Apple you need to thank for DRM free music.
Not really. The reality of it is, record companies know they cannot turn the tide of illegal downloading while these restrictions are in place. How can they expect people to pay for something so heavily restricted when you can get something you can do what you like with for free?
If you want to thank something for DRM-free music, thank BitTorrent for it's continual existence forcing the industry's hand.
