I've had that same thought. It's just another example of how the content industries don't have their heads wrapped around a new business model. I have a feeling that like me and many of my customers, I buy CDs, mostly used for a few dollars, off Amazon, rip them and throw them into a bin until they get donated. What kills me is that Amazon

My ears were burning! The MLGW is about $2,500. While I understand the irony of a free app that requires a $2,500 purchase, how else was it expected to work?
