iTMS DRM removable?

And, for good measure, it is currently easy to remove the iTMS DRM so the restrictions may end up harming lawful consumers while having little or no effect on large-scale illegal copiers.

I wasn't aware that removing the iTMS DRM (FairPlay?) was easy? It's been broken?

The Apple DRM seems to be fixable (i.e. removable) although I've never tried, never purchased anything from iTMS. Check out the software at http://www.hymn-project.org/

JHymn can't grokk Apple's 6.0 DRM. Says so right on the JHymn site. So I guess one needs to look to SharpMusique for all your iTunes shopping needs.
