I think the real reason it gets me is that they're mainly doing it to the kinds of acts (kasabian, kings of leon, and foo fighters specifically) where a large portion of their audiences are exactly the people who use digital music *legally* and own an MP3 player like an iPod.

that the copy protection is easy to get around and you can indeed make copies using WMP.

I will never be an iPod owner, Not after seeing the article on NBC Nightly news about how iPod's can easily cause hearing loss with the in-ear headphones no matter what level your volume is set to...Take away my hearing just give me a hollow point bullet and a few seconds of peace and I will die happily
