    don't steal Dvorak's shtick

    by trolling for hits. It is nice that there's a real competitor to the iTMS, and that it currently offers unencumbered tracks for less. But you're engaging in hyperbole to suggest that "Amazon runs circles around iTunes" when you yourself say that iTunes has many more songs and Jobs wants to move away from DRM.
