Now they are selling DRM-free music to Apple's competitors, while requiring Apple to keep DRM, handicapping Apple, because of industry resentment at iTunes success. If they are going to sell music, they should sell the same product, available to everyone...and stop discriminating against Apple. It is an unfair business practice, anti-consumer, and Apple should sue.
