Hilary Rosen Gripes About iPod, iTMS

mijkal writes "Hilary Rosen, the former RIAA CEO and chairwoman, has spoken out against Apple's "lock-in" with iPod and the iTunes Music Store." From the article: "The problem is that the iPod only works with either songs that you buy from the on-line Apple iTunes store or songs that you rip from your own CD's." Ironically, she appeals to consumer rights and anti-monopoly tactics."

in other news ... calling women "cows" has been proven to lower peoples' opinions of you.

it's not your music. you did not participate in the creation of it in any way. if you bought it, you did not purchase the right to distribute it. what are you even talking about?

Yep. Ms. Rosen is a lesbian. How's that relevant to the discussion at hand, again?

Stereotypically, I shouldn't have to say. Realistically, it does provide some background about her.

Apparently, gays are modding me down here thinking I made that reference to bash her. In fact, just the opposite. I made there reference, appalled that she represents a prominent executive that is gay and has a very ill concieved stance on filesharing and on Apple.
