iTunes UK is actually 79p per song,
TBH when I first went to Itunes it was 99p... I can only guess that it came down in price in response to napster setting a lower price, (shows it was more than a tad inflatde to start with)...
either way, it's still wrong that we are having to pay 50% more than the average american.
I was a touch wrong on the pricing because I don't shop at Itunes. I don't want DRM infestation, and I like walking nito music shops picking up discs and reading the covers.
So you are advocating breaking the law then??? the tunes are sold with DRM and it's leagally required that you keep the DRM intact...As for iTunes DRM, it's easily broken if you really want to
as far as I'm concerned what you do in your own house is your own business, that's not the way that the RIAA see it, they like DRM it protects their investments, though thus far I think their only investment is actually in DRM software, since it's the individual labels that invest in artists!
FYI (for anyone who doesn't know -I'm sure DJ chris will know)in Canada there is a tax levy applied to CD's, this levy goes to the Canadian equivellant of the RIAA, (IMO that fnudamentalyl wrong, what about the people who buy CD's to copy data, why do they have to pay for artists they perhaps don't listen to, or what about local bands, why do they pay a tax to help established bands in order to axctually buy physical media to try to get their career started)...
anyway...
I'l assume that when DJ Chris breaks American law (by circumventing DRM) and break American law by copying the tunes to discs. that he feels perfectly fine because that's fine in accordance with Canadian law...
why is allofmp3.com different? what they are doing is perfectly fine in accordance with russian laws...
Don't make me call you a noob too...well here 1 billion has 9 zeros
I wasn't talking about there, I was talking about in britain, and it was only joke to start with... (did you not notice that later in the same post as the original point I started using the phrase trillion?)...
as I said, in britain, (using traditional british 'long scale' measurements), 1,000,000,000 is one thousand million, or one milliard.
in traditional british 'long scale' counting, one billion is 1,000,000,000,000
that is why, (and this is important for all of you students out there), you should never write in a report, 1 part per billion, since the actual size of a billion is open to debate because of the introduction of americanised english 'short scale' measurements...
so I say again...
go back and read read what I said...
In Britain, and in the english language, (not americanised english language)
1,000 = one thousand
1,000,000 = one million
1,000,000,000 = one thousand million (or one milliard)
1,000,000,000,000 = one billion
to further elaborate the point I asked if bill gates fortune was measured by the English or the americans, percause he'd be a factor of a thousand times more risher if he was a billionaire by british scales rather than american scales
