Quoted: So if the music companies are selling over 90 percent of their music DRM-free, what benefits do they get from selling the remaining small percentage of their music encumbered with a DRM system? There appear to be none.

I...don't know what to say. This is a beautiful argument for providing DRM-free music. I have heard arguments in the past citing statistics which show that illegal music downloading isn't hurting the music industry, sure, but this is a corporate giant, a computer technology icon, discussing the possibility of dropping the obviously failed idea of music DRM.
