...it's been reposted to more websites.

I've debunked it several times now, and got bored of doing so, and instead just posted an article to my company website about it (because my company does iPhone development, and therefore would be directly affected were this true).

If you're too lazy to click through, the Cliff's Notes version is:

  • There is no change to the contract clause. They made that bit up entirely.
  • Apple do not take back 100% of the purchase price as the article claimed - and I have the spreadsheets that prove it.
  • People will keep reposting this article anyway, for the same reason Egypt is awash with claims of 'foreign sources' sending killer SMS messages

...they offer the Bleep Music Store. All files are high-quality (VBR with the settings cranked up) MP3s, unprotected -- they *gasp* treat you like a customer instead of a serf. Also you can preview tracks -- not just 30 seconds of a track, but all of it (albeit in 30 second chunks, so you can't just rip the whole track to a .wav file before buying). Also there's Magnatune (tagline: "We are not evil" ;-} ). Warp have the advantage of 'famous names' though, like Aphex Twin or LFO.

The more they over-think the plumbing the easier it is to stop up the drain.
