So they only forced everyone into their ecosystem for seven years and once they cornered their market they gave back the illusion of choice? That's cool I guess but that's explicitly the opposite of what I mean when I say freedom of choice, open source, DRM free, etc.
I'm not defending Apple. Just stating that at one time iTunes was DRM free.
