Then why have iTunes and Amazon dropped DRM for music?

Because they learned the lesson that if you price something reasonably and put it in a format that consumers can freely shift between their own devices, the motivation for file-sharing drops substantially. Nothing will ever drop it to zero -- including DRM (which I would argue increases it) -- but substantially enough that creators can continue to profit.
