- zepto 6y agoYes, and then Apple convinced them to go DRM free. iTunes has been DRM free for more than a decade now.
- dkonofalski 6y agoYes, I know that. I was just pointing out to the person claiming that Apple was the one that initiated DRM in iTunes that Apple never wanted it to begin with.
- zepto 6y agoOk, your comment left it ambiguous as to what state it ended up in.
- dkonofalski 6y agoAgreed. Can't edit it anymore, though. :( Thanks for clarifying.
