OT Vacationhouse, paying for music is part of the iPod phenom. The iTunes (as a software platform) music store is tied to the iPod (as a HW platform) by a primitive DRM. This DRM is hackable and a buyer of the music through the software platform could hack it and share it.
Balmer needs to prove his assertion that iPod owners are hacking the DRM and distributing the music to other iPod users.
Monkeyboy has said some stupid things in the past ("developers, developers, developers, developers"), but claiming that iPod users are crooks stealing music is absurd at least and perhaps criminal on his part at best?
