What Steve Jobs really said

Cory Doctorow has written this excellent comment about Steve Jobs Open Letter from not too long ago. Basically, Steve Jobs said that Apple would stop using DRM if the music industry would let him. However, as Cory Doctorow nicely displays it in his comment, Apple's actions tells a different story:

Actions speak louder than words. Artists have asked -- begged -- Apple to sell their music without DRM for years. From individual bestselling acts like Barenaked Ladies to entire labels of copy-friendly music like Magnatune, innumerable copyright holders have asked Apple to sell their work as open MP3s instead of DRM-locked AACs. Apple has always maintained that it's DRM or nothing. These artists believe that the answer to selling more music is cooperating with fans, not treating them as presumptive pirates and locking down their music.

Of course, you're entitled to change your mind so Steve, will we see DRM free music on iTunes soon?
