The above applies even to iTunes, which people hold up as a shining example of "good" DRM.
Again, no thanks.

1. Perfectly valid, but if the platform works perfectly for you, or even exceeds your needs, what me worry?
2. How? You listen to music. Having a variety of formats or the ability to easily copy to an infinite number of locations doesn't inherently make the product any more useful(a metaphor to apple's entire business model can be applied here). Perhaps for some, but I would suspect they are a minority. Again, if it meets your needs(which, for most people are pretty damn simple... you listen to music), DRM'd music isn't exactly less useful, it still accomplishes its primary and most used use just fine.
