Is Apple doing the preventing, or is are the record labels? Are the labels
saying DRM or no sales?

Ky question is: why are so many people pounding Apple? Apple isn't the
only company selling digital music with DRM. And Apple's digital music
isn't the only music originally tied to it's hardware. Plus, you can make
CDs of your DLed music and play it on any CD player, as well as copy those
CDs.
Am I defending DRM? NO!. But why are so many people pounding the company
with some of the most lenient restrictions?
