Is This Legal?

[Burnsey]

Say for an online business as part of a promotion I want to offer customers 1 free song with every purchase of a certain service. The idea is that they purchase the service, and I then purchase a song of their choice from the iTunes store and email it to them. Is this legal?

If not, is there any way to legally offer such a promotion, where I could purchase some sort of promotion code from iTunes that I then give to the customer and they can get their song?

Or is there another way I could offer such a promotion legally?

No, not legal (or at least it's against Apple's terms and conditions)

You could 'gift' it to them thru itunes but that would be a pain if you get a lot of people doing it.

If your volume is large enough, perhaps contact Apple.

I recall getting a voucher a few summers ago from Rogers Telecom for 2 free tracks, gives code - probably easiest, they might even have it so you can simply generate these codes on demand than then email it to the customers.

when i had the first 512 mb shuffle back in the day (:rolleyes:) there was this thing at gap/gap kids where they would give you a card after you try on jeans that can let you download one song

i tried on many jeans that week ;)

Through American Express I'm able redeem points for a song balance as opposed to a dollar amount so codes for songs do exist, but how to get in touch with Apple on getting this done, no idea.
