Lawrence Lessig has an interesting come-back:
There are artists on iTunes whose creative work is Creative Commons licensed. Colin Mutchler is one. When his stuff first went into iTunes, he requested the DRM be turned off. The request was refused. But if no-DRM is Apple’s preferred policy, then let them begin here.
Also worth reading is Freedom to Tinker's look at what the letter is really saying and Daring Fireball's discussion of the letter in the context of recent developments in Europe.
