Don't forget: You can always burn iTunes music onto a CD, and make DRM-free MP3s from that. I simply start a sound recorder, play the song from iTunes, and save that as an MP3. It's not hard, I save my CDs for albums, and I don't even own an iPod.*
I think we ALL agree that no-DRM music (and e-books) are good, and that both still have a ways to go to be great. We may argue about the proper price for an MP3 single, but we ALL agree that e-books' average price should be considerably less than they are.
And obviously, all this is being done because of business, and the pursuit of profit... not for altruistic motives. But that doesn't mean we can't still applaud their efforts and encourage them to do more.
