Think back to the time of records. Imagine if Columbia Records had produced vinyl records that could only be played on record players produced by Columbia. Do you think the people or the courts would have tolerated it? I simply will not buy any more Apple products, no matter what the "coolness" factor might be. And this applies especially to songs on iTunes. The alternative is out there and it's DRM-free music from Amazon.
