Ummm... NO! On the "EMI *forced* them" part, that is. See my post
here for details. Apple really, truly did fight hard for no-DRM on music from the very beginning. They lost. And delays on removing DRM on music from the non-EMI big labels were driven by the LABELS not by Apple.
As for their own incompatible DRM... I think that we only
suspect that they are using their own incompatible DRM.* What we
know is that an Adobe employee's blog says that Apple is not using Adobe's DRM. Not quite the same statement.

*And even if they are using DRM, we still don't know whether that's from their own choice, or whether it was demanded by the publishers.
