Yep keep up those iPods n shit.

[Massa Charlie]

Fuck iTunes. There are a million players out there, and they don't spy on your playlist like iTunes does. What really pissed me off was when iTunes started throwing alerts at me, like You are not AUTHORIZED to play this song. Please go to the iTunes Store NOW and purchase an AUTHORIZED copy for your playlist. Or some shit like that.

Fuck Apple and fuck Steve Jobs.

The logical alternative for all that "authorized copy" and copy protected bullshit is Audio Hijack Pro, a completely legal app that records anything that can play over your computer. So, you switch on Audio Hijack Pro, navigate to sites where you can listen to music but not download it, and you just record a whole fucking album. And none of the copy protection gimmicks can stop you.

So you're not downloading, you're not uploading, you're not distributing. Fuck iTunes.

Thats for sure. I just bought a new laptop and it's a fucken pain to get my 'tunes' transford over to it, thanks to this 'authorized copy' shit. Some songs, about 10 will not be allowed to be copied over. Fucken apple and its iTunes. Bunch of tree hugging nigger lovers anyway.

To hell with Apple/Itunes and while were at it add in Google, they are both sponsors of socialists/divershitty to the max.

Apples stock has gone from $170.00 to $90 in past 3 months the drop will continue.

Add Google to the shit list $540+ to $385 also past 3 months. How they ever got to $500+ is a value mystery to me.

If the US economy is dependent on a f'ing low volume personal puter company with music sales and a search engine code writer we are in real trouble. Asking for money to support nigger cRap music, they can't die off quick enough for me.

I with you on this one, in fact I used to intentionally share music, even crap I didn't listen to or hated just to say FU to those niggers, nigger-loving artists, and those nigger-promoting companies. I pretty much only listen to classical anyways but only at home on a proper a setup (in the car I listen to talk radio). Until these media corporations stop supporting the nigger problem I'm going to avoid handing them my money if at all possible, maybe they might censor us thru the media from our view point well I think we need censor them with our wallet. iTunes, why in the hell do we want to support those who are our natural enemies?

Incidentally, my wife and I were out shopping at Sam's Club this evening, and it was raining like a bitch, so lots of people without umbrellas were running back and forth in the parking lot, holding their purses and shit over their heads, right.

By the way, a sudden rainstorm in a big parking lot is the perfect time and place to treasure hunt. People are freaked out, they're in a hurry to get out of the rain, and they drop shit without noticing.

On the way out of the store, I clicked the remote key and my truck lit up, and there in the headlight beam, on the ground, in the rain, was a brand new, unopened 80gb Apple iPod. Chrome version. My wife walked right past it, but I had already identified it and scooped that fucker up, real smooth-like.

When we were in the truck, I buckled up and cranked the engine, then handed the iPod to her and said "Trick or Treat"... Well, let us just say, I'll be getting my treat shortly.

Damn, that's funny--I found either an iphone or ipod touch on the floor of the university library about two weeks ago. Without thinking, I took it right up to the desk and gave it to the librarian--me, who maybe ten years ago would have "accidentally" dropped my backpack on top and scooped it up and kept it without it even registering in my brain. It must have belonged to a nigger--my internal coon alarm must have alerted me to the potential niggergrease and niggergerms I would have had to deal with. Still, it pains me to think I'm either losing my touch as a thief or slowly developing a conscience. Anyone dumb enough to drop an item that expensive deserves to lose it.

Shame on you, if it's a nigger's phone you should have posted their phone's address book here so we could all give them a call and make fun of them. Every time I've found a phone it belonged to someone White so I returned it, if I ever found a nigger's phone, I'm going to make so many calls or download so many ringtones to run up it's bill and piss it off.

:grin

Yeah, and I'm not going to run around a huge parking lot, in the rain, at night, asking complete strangers Hey, is this your brand new iPod?

I guess I could've taken it back into Sam's, dropped it off at the Customer Service desk, and they could've just scanned it to determine the rightful owner. And, as I did this good deed, I'd earn another feather in those angel wings waiting for me up in Heaven.

Or, I could scoop up this gift from God, present it to my wife, and receive a 2-hour head job in return. Hm. Tough choice, but I think I made the correct decision.

:hnk

[Massa Charlie]

I was just explaining the thoughts that went through my mind when I realized that it was a brand new iPod laying there. Naturally, I thought about doing the "right thing," returning the iPod to customer service, but you never know — The "rightful" owner might have been a goddamned nigger, and I knew for a fact that two of the clerks at the customer service desk were niggers, and I sure as hell didn't trust them.

If iTunes does get shut down, watch prices at Napster to go through the roof.

The music industry is determined to squeeze every last cent they can. It goes back to "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs", the music companies could make a fortune in quantity if they charged less, but instead want to make premium profit per song.

[niggersarelowlife]

Itunes is gay, and I'm a pretty hardcore mac user at this point. I bought quite a few tunes from them years ago when they first started. I recently lost my internet connection for a while, and had an issue where I had to delete a bunch of shit and then reinstall my itunes backups. I couldn't play anything that I'd purchased, since my computer couldn't navigate to the itunes store. I just kept getting a message "your computer is not authorized to play this song." No one in customer service could help. I just got my internet back, and when I played a song I got the message "this computer is already authorized to play this song" after I connected and typed my password. Also, apple's lawyers got me booted from ebay for selling legit, retail copies of OS8 and OS9. Steve Jobs is a cunt. Also, I read that some older G4, G3 units produce and leak benzine, and apple won't acknowledge it.

Shit I have an eMac. The damn thing will no longer boot because of a motherboard issue.

Is there anything out there as a free download that works for Windows Xp?

[Massa Charlie]

I don't know about "free"... When I want something that works, it's almost always an expensive commercial application. I'm not saying that I pay for my apps, but I only pirate the good ones. In any event, there are a helluva lot more Window XP apps out there than Mac. I say just google up the best one, then download a fucking torrent for it.

The story reminds me of this (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=186).

My entire music collection, every last bit/byte of it, I have downloaded from Usenet. 1.7 TB and growing. Don't ask me about movies, I'm running out of space. Cost = $0. No licensing, authorization, or format incompatabilities. I can't condone pirating music, movies, or software, because it's wrong, but I do it anyway. Artists and software writers need to be paid for their work, but from a consumer standpoint, serial numbers, activation codes, hardware restrictions, etc. are a nightmare. If Micro$oft would have put as much energy into their new file system as they did into drm then maybe Vista wouldn't suck so much. It is actually easier to steal than to try to be legal. I hate to sound like a thieving nigger here, but until the music/movie/software industries get it together, I'll keep getting everything from Usenet.
