His arguments are reasonable about Apple continuing to closely
hold and control its own DRM, but his argument that there shouldn't
be any DRMs is a bit less strong. Sure, the majority of music is still
sold via cds that are DRM free. But there is a dichotomy of use.
If online music were free from DRM, it isn't obvious that this
woulnd't affect user's habits of exchanging music.
