...well it sucks...
OK, that's a cheap joke, but was Pete Townsend right when he called Apple as a vampire? (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15528101)
Like any retailer we can't really expect Apple to support unsigned artists, as much as we wouldn't expect HMV or WHSmith to do so. In fact, and this is a lot from someone who doesn't particularly like Apple, they do a lot for smaller artists with their podcast service and such like.
But I do completely agree with his thoughts on illegal downloaders with that metaphor. Yes, I know there are people who download music to see if they like it before buying it, but for everyone like that there are loads that use it as subsititute for putting their hand in their pocket.
