Steve accomplished that? Yeah, no - Amazon had been selling all DRM-free music for over a year before Steve jumped on that bandwagon with any real effort. . . if teh steveo had actually wanted it, he'd have done so quite a while before. Owning so huge a share of the online market as Apple does, Apple could have easily thrown its weight around. . . as we saw them do with others.
FoxKenji, Steve took YEARS to undo DRM and in the meantime made huge cash off DRM. Then he wants people to rebuy non-DRM versions of songs they already paid for, for another 30 cents. As the OP said, Amazon is the true DRM breaker.
