Sorry, I've being reading this site for years, but when did it become a posting ground for "apologists" I like Apples products, but they need to be more free and saying this is not slagging them off or does every sight transaction need defending, we are all here cause we like apple, yes, the restrictions apple place are heavy and bad.
You say, just cause you have a cd of some music doesn't give you a write to make a ring tone of it, OK, then don't be suprised that music priacy exists cause this type or protectionast attitude by the record companies will help sustain it.
I'm not surprised at all, and I never said that I supported it, or that I apologized for it, but you seem to be further confused as to who it is even to blame. I'm not apologizing for APPLEs products, and APPLE has nothing to do with the record companies demands of their own rights.
What I'm trying to do is provide some instance of education of what someone's rights actually are. Besides piracy, which hurts everyone who consumes content as well as the record companies, people as a group need to understand what rights they actually have so they can start to demand what they don't have. Just taking those rights doesn't solve the root problem. Educate yourself, or live with the consequences.
