Here is the original essay:

http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/

I'd say that "promote" is a bit of a strong word.  In particular, he
said that Apple would embrace DRM-free music.  He said nothing that
implied promition, other than saying that users/customers of the big
music comapnies can convince them to change.

Don't forget, if Apple themselves are preceived as promoting something
the music companies perceive as a threat to their revenue stream, they
could decide to take their toys and go home.

It is still a bold step, though.
