alramos, "500 million track downloads sold to date", NOW how much additional revenue has been lost due to the following AND the fact that the INDUSTRY should have copyright protection associated with EVERY music file in all its digital formats:
"Every song you buy on iTunes can be copied to five computers, in any mixture of Windows and Macintosh machines; plus an unlimited number of Apple iPods; plus an unlimited number of recordable CDs. The only catch is that the same exact playlist of songs can only be recorded to CD seven times. After that, you merely have to change the placement of a single song on the playlist, and you can record it to seven more CDs."

Some people wish the record companies didn't set these limits, but they have every right to do so. And these iTunes rules are liberal enough that the vast majority of users will never bump up against them. How many people have more than five computers? How many would ever need, for legitimate purposes, more than seven copies of the identical playlist burned to CD? Almost none.

THERE YOU HAVE IT, FOR THE ABOVE REASONS,THE INDUSTRY IN UNISON IS PUTTING THE SCREWS TO APPLE. PERIOD.
