We are only one step away!
Both iTunes and Yahoo (all I know about...) allow burning purchased tracks to audio format disks. These disks play on regular CD players. It is one extra step to import these tracks back into MP3 format. It could be one step to DRM free MP3 tracks instead of two. The extra step probably keeps 95% of the buyers honest.
Then we can get right back to the task of shutting down illegal posting sites.
