iPod Owners Not Thieves

An anonymous reader writes "Remember last year when Microsoft head Steve Ballmer said iPod owners were music thieves and their iPods were full of stolen music? It turns out they're actually less likely to download music using filesharing software than owners of other MP3 players. A lot less likely." From the article: "A survey of US and UK music buyers reveals that although 25 per cent of people admit to downloading music from file-sharing services, only seven per cent of iPod owners do so. Proving that iPod users are either scrupulously honest or more paranoid they'll get sued by RIAA than owners of lesser music players."

Here's a crowbar. Now, you only get one shot at this, so let me walk you through prying yourself out of Apple's rectum. You ready? Ok, first, you have to get past the sphincter...

What?!? You like it in there?!? You like the way it smells?

Ok, I should have know based on your post. You can stay in Apple's recutm, just beware of the crap they put out. You might get flushed.

Say it with me, kids, Apple SUCKS!!! They are just as much The Man as M$ or anyone else. Plus iTMS is a piece of crap. Bad sound quality, mediocre software. m4p is just as bad as wma.
