Actually, as far as music/audio files are concerned, Apple/iTunes 
has been DRM free for several years.  Not sure about video, and
Apps are definitely assigned against iTunes accounts.

The audio files are, however, in a different format (AAC or Apple
lossless) to the de-facto standards.  They also include the ID of
the purchaser in their metadata (in much the same way as some PDF
ebooks I have include my name in the footer of each page).
