The continued availability of DRM-free music (just as we had before they first tried to introduce DRM) might be viewed as a temporary setback – I don't think they gave up their DRM push because they were suddenly convinced by the philosophical arguments, but rather because there was too much market resistance. Once all the necessary pieces are in place to decisively force it on the consumer, why wouldn't they try again?
