Steve Jobs' Thoughts on Music still Shake Market

With his "Thoughts on Music" Steve Jobs was primarily aiming to explain to European consumer associations that Apple was not willing to add DRMs to music tracks, but was forced by Music Majors.
Since its publication online, Steve Jobs' comments on music lead to many collateral consequences: all actors of the digital music market have published their thoughts, creating clear disagreement among Music Majors while one could have imagine them all united against iTunes Store.
If the Warner currently considers that one can not have DRM-free music tracks on online music stores, EMI is suspected to prepare its catalog for a DRM-free offer. Other Majors did not take final position about this point, and will probably wait for further development before following on side or the other. Last but not least, yesterday Yahoo back Apple's call for DRM-free music.
Disagreements between Majors is of course a blessing for Apple, showing that Majors are not all thinking the same way, and Apple could then in the future negotiate specific deal with each of them when renegotiating rights/price for iTunes Store.
If DRMs have to be dropped for online music stores in a near future, Microsoft will lose a lot as the company had successfully imposed its protection system to all online music stores but iTunes Store.
