He violated the iTunes Music Store Terms of Service and Terms of Sale, breach of contract as it were, which is illegal in most countries. Apple could easily sue him for such things, not that they will.

Would you be so defensive of EULAs, DRM, etc if this happened to, say, Microsoft? Or are only certain companies worthy of such protection? The /. community seems very selective in this regard

bad DVD John-like people?

He allowed us linux users to watch what we paid for.. Ya that makes him bad. You vote to take more rights from us.

some of us don't think $1 per song is that cheap. in fact it's more expensive than many cd's if you actually do want the whole thing. give it to me for a quarter or two per song (preferably lossless, or at least let me choose the bitrate) and i'll think about it again. i don't even really care about drm that much, as long as i can choose what player i want to play the music in- most of my existing library is in OGG format, which isn't supported in iTunes.
