Anti-Piracy Suit Gets Challenged
I'm not really sure why music companies keep fighting this issue. Digital file sharing is here and it's not going away. Instead of suing offenders they need to try to find a way to make digital file sharing work to their advantage instead of working against it. Making an example out of this out this guy is not going to deter anyone. This sort of thing only makes the music companies look like money hungary bullies. The other things...I'm not really sure why iTunes is illegal. I guess I haven't fully read the license agreement. But I'm pretty sure when you purchase media from there you're only allowed to use it on up to 5 different devices i.e. CDs, ipods, computers, etc. This issue may be because you can copy CDs onto iTunes and burn CDs with that music and the program makes it very simple to be able to distribute music although I haven't figured out how to burn a movie I purchase from iTunes onto a DVD, or even if it can be done at all.
