Re: Hindering?
?Regardless, how is MS hindering? How is MS preventing the labels from offering their music on iTMS without DRM? Be specific.?

The labels view the subscription model MS uses as a more lucrative model over the download-to-own model. So as long as MS continue to push it and build upon it, the other big labels will continue to hold it as a reason not to jump on the DRM-Free music bandwagon.

Jobs is taking action (self-serving or not it?s the right action), EMI is taking action, Gates is making statements. Curently he is the Labels best friend, as he continue to push subcription.
