iTunes has been launched in the UK France and Germany so I downloaded it to have a look. I do appreciate what Apple are trying to do but for me the the DRM on the downloads makes it useful for one thing: Finding cool online radio stations! I’m just not happy about buying music files which have so many restrictions on them. Once I’ve bought the music I expect to be able to do whatever I want with it providing I’m not breaking the law.
I’m thinking that wasn’t really worth a 20mb download… hmm…
I’ve been reading the EFF web site regarding file sharing but I’m not sure all of their ideas are really all that well thought out.
I’ve seen an amusing video about the music industry, although its message is a little… corrupt. I’d rather people watched the videos here[creative commons]. Creative Commons licenses still need work though, currently none of them are DFSG-free. but we’re working on that.
I’ve spent today revising maths, watching Gladiator for the first time and doing some web development stuff. Only two weeks including this one to go before exams are over.
