Really the digital prices should be less than the physical form, for the same reason ebooks should be less than the physical form - you can't resell iTunes music or ebooks.
1. I agree, it's more expensive than it should be. GREED, nothing else.

2. AFAIK Apple didn't want &^%$ DRM-free 0- it was forced by AoMP3/Alltunes/etc and various bigger ones (Amazon, emusic etc).
