I think you over estimate the relative power of Apple vs. the record industry. The record companies would just love to get a nice war going between the online distributers so that Apple doesn't have hegemonic control over DRM negotiations, and playing hardball on iTunes DRM is the best way for them to do this. Slimy bastards...
