This is stupid. As it is, it costs the same to buy an entire CD on iTunes as heading over to my local store and buying a copy. Hmm, for the same price as downloading I can get a nice pre-printed CD with case and liner notes. If they raise the price of CDs to more than the stores sell them for, this will kill the sale of CDs on iTunes. Everyone will go back to buying them in the stores, or better yet buying them used. I can understand charging $1.00 for a single track. It's like buying a single in the old days, but they should offer a DISCOUNT to buy the whole CD. After all it's a single transaction so their credit card costs are lower (one charge for the whole CD instead of 10-15 separate charges for each track), their distribution costs are practically non-existent.
These greedy bastards at the RIAA are destroying the music industry.
I agree. It looks like the kid who drew this was just drawing the seagull and Marlin the fish from "Finding Nemo"... Might be a TAD of a copyright problem with this logo!
To me, I don't care whether the browser is Mozilla, Opera, Konquerer or anything else, as long as is *fully* supports all the Web standards (HTML4, CSS, Java, JavaScript, XML etc.) The whole concept of the Linux community is cooperation and freedom. Let all the browsers exist and let the user pick the one they want.
