Screw iTunes. Your just renting the music for as long as you have an Ipod. If you ever switch to a different brand of player you can't use your songs with it(without a lot of work) If I pay for music I want to be able to do with it what I want. I'm sure in the future the price per song will go up once people are hooked good. Just a matter of time.
there is no such thing as complete control. there will always be someone who'll send someone a track for free. its a "rock n' roll" thing. want to winge? no way! i read this with interest. whats needed is an updated law in the music industry, basically music on the radio is free, so you can copy airwave content for nowt. im considering the possibility of my own web domain with shit people want to listen to. but if i sat at home all day in front of my computer.....id be fukd and cashless. im so tired of hackers and junk in this mode, i gotto get security. that costs cash! LONG LIVE INDE....and secure content!
Well there is a way for the industry to cash in. Its called Ad supportive p2p that you only can run the files with their player. You get ads while you play the songs you don't pay for. Just like Rhapsody but you can Download the files. Now pay for them and your player no longer has a bannar and the files are then turned to regular DRM WMA files in which you can transfer to a portible device. And all bands should be available. Yes there is lots of ways music could be legally FREE. Its just that the industry wants to play God.
