Warner Music Group attacks Apple's DRM-free music?

A couple of months ago, I found AOL's webcast of the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies at their site. More importantly (to me, anyway) I also found archives of earlier inductions — including Elvis Costello and the Attractions.

Included in the list of archived footage was a clip of Costello and the Attractions playing Nick Lowe's "What's so Funny About Peace Love and Understanding."

I'd periodically returned to that page to view the clip since then.

I went back tonight, clicked on the link and the page loaded, but included this message: "We're sorry, content protected by Digital Rights Management is not available on the Macintosh."

Could this be the Warner Music Group's revenge against Apple's DRM-Free music?

Any word of other sites engaging in this kind of behavior?
