I'm minded to think that Apple has a point though: if you buy stuff from iTunes, then you're entering into an agreement which involves DRM-crippled downloads. If people agree to the iTunes Terms & Conditions (which every user must do, even if they don't read the Ts & Cs) then they shouldn't complain if Apple tries to force the users to obey those Ts & Cs.

Many folks can't be bothered doing through the buy CD/rip/tag process, so will settle for lower quality lossy tunes. Ironically, they'll happily perform the 'remove-DRM' task if possible, which is weird... Another reason iTunes will win is because of tie-in. Buy and iPod? Use iTunes. Buy Apple TV? Use iTunes. Buy any Mac?
