Like for instance if you wanted to play your song on an MP3 player not approved by Apple, that is to say not approved by the company that is the market leader in selling MP3 players...
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I paid for an Itunes song once, I learned my lesson when I tried to use it on my new computer. I had to jump through intolerable hoops. Wheras all the illegally downloaded songs were trouble-free. Naturally, I'll stick to getting my MP3s the problem-free way in the future. Apple can stick their Itunes store up their arse.
I strongly advise others to do the same. And why should I give a stuff about the incomes of the singers and songwriters? For fuck's sake, most of the ones I listen to are dead anyhow. Doug, don't try to guilt-trip us, you're about the same age as me, surely the same applies? Why on Earth are you fussed about paying dead people for their work?
