Universal goes after Apple. If Apple caves then....
well surely all those MP3-playing cell phones are full of pirated music and should be subject to the tax, as should all those nasty PC's and Macs running iTunes, not to mention all those millions of flash drives--they are surely only being used to copy and distribute copyrighted music, and of course all those iPod accessories are complicit in the pirating ways of the iPod owners and should be subject to the tax. yada yada yada.
