Retroactively changing the number of copies "Fairplay" would allow 
(from 10 to 7) is not "reasonable".  Preventing use of the music on 
nearly all portable or other devices not made by Apple is not 
"reasonable".  Apple is the current market leader in distributing DRM 
infected media, so they are a good first target.  Don't worry, we'll 
get to the rest of the violators in time.
