That is what the music companies are afraid of.

In reality, the DRM only affected honest people. Anyone who wants to always could find any song via peer to peer networks.

So by putting DRM on songs, all it did was punish the people who would actually buy the music honestly by only letting them play the music on certain types of music player (either iPods for songs bought from iTMS, or anything except iPods for song bought other ways, eg. PureTracks)
