I agree with you completely. I have so much music I can't listen to it all, but it is nice to have it if I am in the mood, and I don't have to keep up my subscription. I think Fairplay is more than fair. I certainly don't have a need to burn 7 copies of a disc for myself. I find that most of the people who complain about this are the same people who think that using Grokster, or Napster (the original) is not stealing. This is copyrighted material, you are not paying for the music, you are paying for the license to use it.

I dunno about you, but thats the fun in music, some nights we may get together and listen to some real old stuff... cuz we own it. I was at my neighbors house this last weekend (they still have XP and have been put on notice by me i wont help them with the next worm - i only support apple now :)
Anyhow, i noticed the napster icon... i asked how much music they had and she said none because their free trial ran out.
Without itunes, the collection you have wont be available to your kids, and their kids, and their kids.
Fairplay is fair IMHO.

You can still burn them through iTunes. Using toast I believe would allow you to burn an infinite number of copies, whereas iTunes limits a given purchased playlist to I believe 7 burns. I think that fair use is still in play at Apple.

<macminute-logo.gif> <navbar.gif> Toast Titanium 6.1 update disables iTunes burning
May 11, 2005 - 05:51 EDT Our colleagues at MacUpdate have noted the release of Toast Titanium Update X 6.1, the latest version of Roxio's popular CD/DVD authoring software. The most notable change in this release is the following statement from Roxio: "Following discussions with Apple, this version will no longer allow customers to create audio CDs, audio DVDs, or export audio to their hard drive using purchased iTunes music store content." Other changes include several enhancement tweaks and bug fixes. Toast Titanium X 6.1 requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later. |
