It's been successful because it doesn't lock out material from other 
sources. you can have mp3s or WAV files (etc) right along side 
material bought from Apple. On the Palladium-style (hardware/software 
'trusted') systems, that will change, you'll be in either/or 
situation then.

You want a company somewhere (Apple, intel, Microsoft) determining 
what you have and can access on 'your' PC??? That's an interesting 
take on 'successful'.
