DRM music may make up only 3% of the average iPod, but how much of the 97% is actually legally purchased? Sure, you elders are all legal, but the number one consumer of iPods is college kids. You think they buy their own music? I'll be honest, I bought very little music until this year (aside from the iTMS). I got to feeling guilty about it and started buying up cd's on eBay to replace my illegally obtained music. I've also gotten into purchasing new releases on Tuesdays at BB for the same price as the iTMS.
If the DRM is removed, the little bit of money being made from the majority of iPod users will be gone.
