The market is the market for iPods.
At one time, Apple was only breaking even on the store. The profit came from the overpriced mp3 player.

The iPod probably still produces substantially more profit. Apple can afford to gain PR advantages because their income doesn't depend on downloads.

Of course, for that matter, the content companies can't rely on downloads either.
