My comments were based on the iPhone lock down and the unwillingness to allow other hardware manufactures to bundle the Apple OS with their computers.

I have never purchased from iTunes because it made no sense to "buy" a tune only to be able to play it on the iPod. I was a professional musician when young and am sensitive to copyright issues and all of my music is legal (so far). I buy CDs and rip to MP3s or purchase MP3s from eMusic.

Yes I agree Jobs seems to embrace DRM free music but it was the DRM music on iTunes that helped propel the iPod to the forefront of the MP3 player pack.

For what ever reason I still suspect Apple sees it to their advantage not to lock horns with the RIAA. Too bad Jobs does not issue another letter decrying RIAA tactics. His is the kind of voice needed to alert people to the true down side to RIAA intentions and tactics.
