"If you love something you want a permanent copy, and music from iTunes is fundamentally ephemeral: Nearly everything you purchase from the store will never work on any device not made by Apple."
1) DRM can be stripped off of any iTunes Music Store track at will. Stop spreading the FUD
2) DRM exists on iTunes Store because the LABELS, not Apple, demanded it.
3) Prices are better right now on Amazon because the labels are subsidizing it in the war against Apple. Amazon will be the first to require 'bundled' sets of songs to get you back to the good old CD days of 1 hit and 11 garbage songs.
4) Played a song purchase with Microsoft's DRM on another device lately? Didn't think so. But that's different I guess. Can't even play them on devices by MS's 'business partners (aka victims.)
