Re:Not pushed or forced... chose (Score 1)

I could agree that he wasn't "forced" into piracy but he was pushed. The point is that millions of people have iPods and many of them are not familiar with DRM and various forms of media formats they just want to be able to buy the music they want and have it play on their iPod. Your post suggests that he should have known better than to to download these files but if the music industry wants people to pay for their downloads they are going to have to make it more user friendly. CD players would play any music CD you bought you didn't have to worry about these things and people expect that of digital music. It seems the moral of this story is that the music industry is shooting themselves in the foot as their methods to stop piracy do little to stop people from downloading illegal music and frustrate those that try to buy their digital music. To many the choice appears to be: should I pay for an inferior product or get the free product that while being illegal is easier to use.
