Yes, I downloaded my first iTunes song the other day. It cost 99 cents and it was painful, but I had a song in my head and, being prerelease, I could not find a way to illegally download it. Why did the experience suck? Because the stupid file was protected. No copying it to a CD, no converting to an MP3. https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/the-perfect-world-for-a-riaa-or-mpaa-exec/ Wed, 12 Oct 2005 00:00:01 +0000 https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/the-perfect-world-for-a-riaa-or-mpaa-exec/ > Thoughts from the future: + I mean, it is the natural conclusion.
