Just because Apple asserts this is the case doesn't make it the case.  It
seems pretty straightforward and the problem lies with the cost of defense
concerning this wiki site.  How even if they are 100% in the right, fight a
company with as much money and lawyers as Apple?  The truth isn't even
allowed to come out in this case, it's simply run over by a truck with an
Apple logo.  Perhaps at some point the whole truth will come out about his
matter.

Apple chooses to DRM non copyrighted content, it's not forced to by
anything.
