I see so now legal behavior isn't convenient. More sad sack excuses. When you can accept that they're nothing more than petty thieves you'll understand why the iTune model won't change the situation. Not that I'm against it, I think it's pretty cool for a completely different kind of music buyer than myself, but it's not a solution to the bootlegging problem. Not even close.

I see so now legal behavior isn't convenient.

I think it is a hassle to go to Best Buy, rummage around and find a CD with 1 song out of 20 that I like, then pay way too much for it.

It's so much of a hassle I actually stopped listening to music entirely. I didn't start stealing it, I just dropped out all together.

So, I think the apple thing is great, I might even start buying music again because of it.

I do agree though, that "sharing" is theft and that the apple thing isn't a solution to theft.. But if it lets me download music and burn it LEGALLY, then I will give it a shot.

If it's as good as it sounds, just got back a customer who would have otherwise never spent a dime on any of their products.
