Bruce Willis Considering Legal Action Against Apple Over iTunes Collection
First time accepted submitter oobayly writes "It appears that Bruce 'Die Hard' Willis isn't too impressed that he can't include his iTunes collection in his estate when he dies. According to the article: 'Bruce Willis, the Hollywood actor, is said to be considering legal action against Apple so he can leave his iTunes music collection to his three daughters.'

Narrator: "This summer....The fruit will fall from the tree..."

The only reason Bruce Willis and not Chuck Norris is sueing is that Chuck Norris CAN keep his iTunes collection in the family heirloom.....

Are we talking about the same Steve Jobs? The most famous ass in the entire world of tech
Indeed, you have to wonder who designed his slacks.
Is this a joke? You make some random assertion, and then back it up by linking to 20 pages of legalese? That's like me yelling "(mathematical statement). Principia mathematica, QED!"
Yes, the friendly version is to do what you did, only in python.

I'd be really surprised if there wasn't already a program that could reconstruct the music contained on an iPod, a program much more user friendly & "automatic" than mine.
There is. It's called uTorrent.

Actually, there's a pretty arcane way to get around this restriction if the files are on your Mac. An esoteric program invoked from the command line called "cp".

lol yea sure he would have, the same douche that would flip bits in an os installer so you had to buy a new computer if you wanted to run the newest SUB VERSION of the same os you already had would have let you keep your i-tunes collection and forgo all those extra sales.
It's your own fault for not moving to git.
