iTunes Stops Working For Windows XP Users

An anonymous reader writes: iTunes users who still run Windows XP started to experience connectivity issues this week. As documented in an Apple Support Communities thread, they can't log into the iTunes store, meaning functions like buying content, watching already purchased movies and TV shows, playing DRM-protected content, backing up, updating, and syncing all do not work.

Pirating: it's the better product.

From TFA: playing DRM-protected content ... [does] not work.

Did that ever happen to anyone who downloaded something from the Pirate Bay?

This is the thing with piracy it is in a wide variety of ways a better product. So they're not competing with "free" they're competing with "free AND better". Even if they make it free, people STILL go to TPB. I found it easier to get stuff off TPB than I did from 4 on demand.

So I went there even though I'd paid my TV license becuase the streaming crap was flakey.

You locked yourself out when you were too stupid, incompetent, or lazy to stop using an OS that was EOL'ed last year. Newsflash: Not only is it true that companies aren't going to support your incompetence in perpetuity, it is further true that they have been somewhat irresponsible for allowing XP users access to their systems for this long. Perhaps nobody told you that your OS was already a petri dish for viruses prior to all security updates ceasing a year ago.
