"NEW YORK - As if its options woes weren't trouble enough, Apple Computer Inc. said Friday it is facing several federal lawsuits, including one alleging the company created an illegal monopoly by tying iTunes music and video sales to its market-leading iPod portable players."

Hmm, I'm not sure this is an issue best resolved by the courts; it's probably best left to the market to sort out. If this "lock in" bothers the market then people will purchase another player and that drop in the market will prompt Apple to move away from it's ridiculous DRM.
A case in point, I was looking for a new media player for a Christmas gift this year, and Apple's DRM ensured that the iPod was discounted straight away. That's what'll make Apple change it's ways not court decisions. I mean look how many anti-trust cases Microsoft has lost and they have weaseled their way round most of them so that they haven't changed their business in any significant way. In situations like this, the market rules.
