i dunno if giving non-drm is wise though, after all its not like getting free refills on your coke, its giving everyone in the whole world a refill on one guys coke. after all, what customers of any business don't want something for free? none i have ever encountered in any industry. | 
About the DRM: that will be very interesting to see how it all plays out. we7 is doing an advert type of thing I think, while EMI is going for broke with no DRM! Either way, it's great to see the majors responding with innovation. If they can manage to level the playing field at the distribution level, then there's no way a bunch of knock-offs (who all come with potential legal liability) can compete with what they could offer, value wise.
