I have no problem whatsoever with any company or person making a profit from their intellectual property, and I am also happy to pay a fair price for it myself. The problem comes from DRM gutting the term "fair use". How many times do you think you should have to pay for a song? Do you believe that you should license a song per device, paying for it each time you listen to it on your computer, mp3 player, or a CD in your car? People looking to gut DRM schemes doesn't necessarily equate to theft. It is increasingly becoming adopted by people simply wanting to use what they have already paid for.

So you agree with Norway's position that Apple's iTunes should be "illegal"?
