Apple's competitors don't need to make something different, they need to make an identical service that is also iPod AND non-iPod compatible. It's obvious that Apple's scheme works. Why do anything else if that process works? Why DO these competitors not copy what ITMS does?
Because Apple won't open up the format of their DRM or make the iPod's capable for other people's DRM. Other companies would love to get into the iPod, but it's Apple's sandbox, and no other kids are invited.
I love Apple, but I don't use ITMS and I don't have an iPod, for precisely the above reason.
