Windows Program Enables MP3 Downloading From iTunes

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-just-for-macs-anymore dept.

Joey Patterson writes "CNET reports that an independent software developer has released a program called MyTunes that allows people to share and download each other's MP3s on a network via iTunes." This is very much like a Mac program I saw a while back called itunesdl, which allowed one to download MP3s from friends who were sharing their playlists, exactly as MyTunes claims to do.

    From the bottom of the site:

    And remember, copyright infringement is illegal. If you have any question whether what you're doing constitutes an infringement,
    visit the RIAA's great anti-piracy website.

    Kissing asses here, scared allready or just kidding?

    Read that last line there. If that doesn't constitute butt-kissing, I don't know what does.

    I think you're confusing butt-kissing with nose-thumbing.

    I like when the RIAA says this:

    Plus, good luck returning a pirated tape or CD when the quality is inferior or the product is defective, as it often is.

    I think it should actually read:
    Plus, good luck returning a legal tape or CD when the CD doesn't conform to CD standards or play on your CD player, as it often is.

  5. Should it not be called... by Slashdot+Junky · · Score: 2, Funny

    Should it not be called HisOrHerTunes instead of MyTunes? After all, if downloaded from someone else, they aren't mine as in MyTunes. Even better, the software could probably be called, WeDon'tKnowWhoLegallyObtainTheseFirstTunes.
