Hilary Rosen Gripes About iPod, iTMS

Posted by timothy on from the now-we-just-need-to-establish-your-price dept.

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."

    A girlfriend, for those Slashdotters who don't know many, is often a friend who is a girl...and does not neccessarily denote lesbianism. Example: My fiance often goes out shopping with her "girlfriends" who are mostly married and definately not lesbians.

    Who, exactly, told you those are legal? Every reputable source I've heard from is very apprehensive about those Russian sites.

    Damn. Someone beat me to it. Well, at least I've done my part to keep the entropy levels up.
