| Apple is a hardware and software manufacturer, not a music distribution company. Yes, the iTunes music store is a nicety to go along with the iPod, but it aint Apple's core business. People will still buy iPods if the ITMS went away tomorrow. People will still buy Macs, too. So... whatever, music industry--you are hurting yourselves more than you are hurting Apple. I think that's wonderful!
And the record companies are so greedy that they believe they are entitled to a share of the iPod *hardware sales* too! Um, why? Did they put R&D into it? Did they market it? No. God, their greed is astounding! They should be kissing Jobs' ass in gratitude for the iPod giving them MORE sales.
As for the subscription music services, they are about the lamest thing ever. Why pay to "rent" a song? That's worse than buying an overpriced CD, IMO. And none of them work on Macs, so they have just blown off a large portion of users who are likely to actually be interested in their product. |

I don't know whats worse, that you think current music is so friggin important (or good) that the government needs to regulate it or that you think government regulation will actually do what you want it to.
Ever hear of the ICC (set up to regulate the evil monopolist railroads back in the day, ended up slapping restrictions on everyone else once competitors arrived).
