What song was it?

the iTMS front page has been acting weird for me too, perhaps something's going on finally?

Is it beginning to be referred to as stealing or theft by the media industry. Do they have authority to add meaning to words now?
I didn't think so.
Besides, "piracy" is what's being used to described illegally copied software, why can't we use that word for music and movies?

New Celebrity Playlists at the U.S. store and the new free download is listed, but you still can't download it...
It just occurred to me that maybe this type of practice (ie: free song not working right away, switching back to old design) is common everytime Apple updates the store for New Music Tuesday, it's just we're all usually asleep because they do it at two in the morning, so no one notices.
Don't want to sound like a pessimist, GOD I hope something's coming, I'm almost out of US iTunes Target cards.

Found something interesting, click the arrow button on the New Releases box and do one full loop. Notice anything odd?
Tired of Waiting

nek said:The purpose of the levy in Canada is to allow consumers to make legal copies (as many as you want) of the music that you buy and then the owners of the music receive money for the copies. Its not to make up for all the illegal music distribution. I never really thought about it, but Apple's copy protection actually limits the legal rights of consumers. Someone should try suing Apple for infringement of rights.
From what I've read, the tax really IS to account for piracy. After all, hasn't the industry said times and times again that when you buy music or a movie, you're buying a license to listen/watch said media?
So, if I'm buying a license for personnal use, what's their problem with me having the purchased CD, an MP3 copy on my laptop, an AAC copy on my computer at work and an Apple Lossless version on my home PC? It's all for *my* personnal use, and I already paid said license!
Sometimes, the industry contradict itself. Worst, they want to have their cake and eat it too.

Nope, keep going. When you get back to the first one again, it'll be last week's. I feel like Sherlock Holmes, lol, looking for clues.
