I'm well aware of Apple's business decisions, and their other products, thanks.

I never said they were the "good guys on DRM". I just don't see things so black and white. As Hellmark noted, they are a business, and did what they thought was best for their business. And as far as music is concerned, they made a choice that benefitted both them as a business and me as a consumer.

You made two claims- one, that Apple merely "piggybacked" on EMI's publicity, and two, that Apple wanted DRM for music because of lockin for the iPod. I don't see proof of either.
