Yeah, I kind of suspected you were the kind of guy who found reading books WAY too much trouble. Ignorance is SO much easier.
I only read books.
I have not owned a television in twenty years.
Books can not change reality.
And the reality is that not only was MP3.com selling individual song files in the 90s, they were doing so well at it, and at promoting foreign acts and independant artists that they scared the crap out of the RIAA.
I was one of their customers.
There was no iTunes store.
There were no ipods yet.
The RIAA sued to shut MP3.com down.
As part of their tactics in the legal procedings the music industry tried to put materials they owned to copyright on up on MP3.com, but thorough policing helped by customers who reported such material rendered the tactics useless. Not only was the bogus copyrighted material taken down, the litigants got caught. You can see that referenced in the judge’s decision.
You keep whining that I won’t accept your book.
Pretty funny from a guy who won’t accept a calendar.
MMP3.com was founded in 1997. iTunes store wasn’t founded until April 2003.
