however, theres nothing saying that they wont agree to it later on.
The Office tv show was unavailable on iTunes for most of the 4th season due to NBC and Apple disagreements but its been resolved now, so maybe in the future avex and Apple will sort something out.

I'm not so sure avex music is on the iTunes US priority list though. And avex is pretty stingy...

I'm not sure what you mean. The stuff I previously downloaded from iTunes that's now unavailable (such as Ayu) is the same quality as anything else in the iTunes store, as far as bitrate and such. The DRM-free issue seems a more likely culprit.
