Paying for Apple iTunes with PayPal

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the and-a-third-party-of-course dept.

MrIcee writes "While cruising eBay today I noted that some clever individual has apparently stepped up to fill the void left by the fact that Apple's iTunes service does not accept PayPal. While insisting that buyers follow Apple's terms of service, is buying and reselling the gift certificate legal or not? If legal, it's an interesting and simple idea that could be applied to many areas." It is pretty neat, even if the $16 markup is a little ludicrous. It's like the old adage: a fool and his PayPal account are soon parted.

    You don't even have to violate the Apple TOS today. There's an article in the latest issue of NERO Magazine, focusing on a giant loophole in the Apple TOS. IANAL, so I'm not sure of how to summarize it. Check it out,

    Why should Apple be obliged to do business with PayPal? What cocksucking son-of-a-bitch has credit so shitted up that they can't even get a Visa Check Card from their bank? And what business do they have buying music?

    What the flaming fuck are you talking about $240 a month? 4x15=240? Are you that fucking stupid? If you think that's not a bad buisness [sic] idea, try this one:

    I don't like installing proprietary software on any computer simply because its such a hassle. For one thing I have to read through those stupid non-GPL licenses plus I have heard that Apple's iTunes for Windows is buggy. Quite frankly, unless they have music that I want (such as Michael W. Smith) then there really is no reason for all that trouble.
