I think you CAN get DRM-free titles on iTunes. You mean they are lower price or something on AMZN?

"A senior record company executive told NYT he was prepared to keep copy restrictions on his label’s songs on iTunes for six months to a year while Amazon establishes itself."

Sounds like a flagrant violation of antitrust law. And pointless. I don't mind Apple's Fairplay because it doesn't inconvenience me in any way. And iTunes is fewer "clicks" than Amazon. Unless Amazon offers a really enormous discount I don't see why anybody would be interested.
