Jobs had ample opportunity to pursue DRM free music with the independent musicians trying to get in the IMS. There are several independent musicians who do not wish their music to contain DRM and have either been turned down by Apple or forced to copy protect their music. Steve Jobs merely took the opportunity to look like the "cool guy" once again with a well-timed announcement. Hooray for EMI - Boo for Steve Jobs.

Hooray for EMI – Boo for Steve Jobs.
