HUGE respect for him right now. This is the first good use of the American legal system (and the media's sensationalism) I've seen in a very long time. I mean, who knew how much Apple sucks that paying to download music from Apple isn't the same as actually owning the music (as property which you can pass on to your children)? I'm just glad I never had an Apple account. AND that I still buy album CDs rather than direct download (though I'd been seriously considering it the past few days for the upcoming The Script album. Not considering the option anymore). :p

"Lots of people will be surprised on learning all those tracks and books they have bought over the years don't actually belong to them."
