This is awesome 
The second I submit, I switch tabs over to my Gmail account, copy the code, and then go to iTunes and redeem it. I've probably submitted about 20 times and have 17 songs right now BTW, once you submit your code, click "Redeem another code" so the entry page is ready to go once you get your code.
You know someone's losing their job once PaperMate finds out how easy this is

Thanks SMEGHEADS for using up all the valid codes in their database. I have tried 12 addresses, and not one has worked. All of you with 100+ free songs should be ashamed of yourselves. You are stealing from your fellow human beings. 6 to 12 free songs, or one song for each legitimate e-mail address you have would be fine, but not using catch-all domains and extra Gmail Periods to get several hundred songs. For Shame...

Oh please.
So it's OK to steal 6-12 songs? Who are you to put a number on it? If it is stealing, then don't do it. Just don't try to tell someone that a certain number is OK, but no more than that. That's just self-righteous.
I did a few, I admit, but if they didn't want someone to keep at this, they could have done something very simple like disable the back button or not allow a back button to take you back one page, but to the beginning of the process. They could have made you re-register each time, or checked IP addresses. There are any number of ways they could have handled this better to prevent it from happening.
I am not saying that makes it OK, I am just saying that they handled this very poorly and the codes being handed out as "used" is just one example.
Shame on them.

I'm just saying that you should limit yourself to using those e-mail addresses that you actually have, not making them up using catch all domains and gmail dots. You aren't stealing per se from the company, I'm talking about stealing from your fellow users.

You know what... I'm not doing ANYTHING wrong. In fact, I'm speaking as an APPLE STOCK HOLDER. I spend 400+ dollars a year on the iTMS, and nothing is being lost by APPLE - they sell these codes TO paper mate. Paper mate said one per e-mail address, and that's EXACTLY what I've done. I read the terms and conditions, and just because it might be sneaky and underhanded (arguably it isn't... but I'm giving you a nod) doesn't mean that anyone has exploited anything. And, nobody used up YOUR good code. You didn't GET to it fast enough - it redistributes because the script is SO poorly written.
Maybe you should check some facts before you start flaming. I think the shame is on you because you don't have the presence of mind to consider that Apple is not losing anything, and neither is Paper Mate. Some regular store customers got some free stuff, not by stealing, but by taking advantage of an offer and playing within the rules. If you want to go on a moral tirade about downloading from LimeWire, pirating movies, or cheating on spelling tests, I'm with you all the way - but when something is done within the parameters set by the company doing the promotion, you haven't got a leg to stand on.
plinkoman said:well, it was nice while it lasted. it's not everyday i get 28 free song codes. if only i knew what to use them on...
I have also get quite a few free song codes
anyone know any good music in the usa store
Mainly Electronica (Espically like four tet atm any other reccomandations) or and good Alternative music
Damn, its over. I was hoping to add another hundred or so when I was done with classes
Ah well, I think I did fairly good. I got 102 codes. Now my goal is to use them before they expire in May.
BTW, for those of you outside the US, its real easy to redeem the codes. I got codes from the Shopfar promotion and registered a UK iTMS account and downloaded some songs...works great. If you need an address, use the address of the White House
