Steve Jobs, forced it because Amazon was easting into their profits with MP3 sales. Jobs didnt give a shit about Microsoft because they are also DRM based and he simply decided he wouldn't support WMA or allow xbox to support apple. Once Amazon said we will do Mp3's he had no option. He was forced.
I agree that initially the music industry forced poorly managed DRM on companies like Apple. But make no mistake, Steve would have been happy to keep it DRM and force the non-geeks to use iTunes rather then embrace a open free competitive market.
