If you think that the DRM issues with Sony are abhorrent you should probably brace yourself for what would come out of Apple. Apple is pretty tightly proprietary about a lot of their stuff. Just look at heavy handed integration of iTunes and iPod. They really want you to follow and be reigned in by their rather strict guidelines. They don't make it impossible, just very difficult.

I bought only 4 songs of iTunes when I first purchased my iPod. In comparison to files I made myself the purchased ones were absolutely terrible in comparison. Additionally they are crippled as to their use. I will never purchase anymore music from iTunes ever again.

Don't want to ostrasize the Apple group out there, this is just the way I feel about it.
