I feel it's worth mentioning that the Amazon mp3 store was DRM free from the get-go, and long before Apple started providing DRM free music. In fact, it was probably on the example of Amazon that Apple was able to make such a demand ("look, the music industry hasn't imploded yet").
Also, while Apple does sell DRM-free files, access to their store requires iTunes - not exactly DRM, but a vendor tie-in that limits your access to the store and your purchased music. Contrast with Amazon, whereas you can buy/download tracks from your browser.
