i believe he did. before apple's drm, all drm schemes before it were more draconian. that amazon's mp3 store that went drm first was the music industry's last ditch effort to break apple and their $1 a song pricing structure. as glad as amazon was to have drm free music and cheaper wholesale prices from the labels, know that they were equally happy adding any drm the music labels wanted, so long as it had an advantage over apple.
as for apple's epub, it will use the same apple drm. as soon as they can persuade publishers to give it up, they will sell drm free epub.
