arstechnica.com — The iTunes Store is on a roll and not slowing down any time soon. Apple announced this morning that over 3 billion songs have been sold through its online music store. The milestone not only marks a major feat for Apple, but also for the digital music industry as a whole.

I don't get it. Why would anyone buy an over-priced, low quality DRM infected track from ITMS? Or pay even more for a reasonable quality non-DRM track from a limited selection?

To think, if they charged that extra 1 cent per song (1 dollar instead of 0.99) cents, assuming a unified currency across all stores, they would've made an extra $30,000,000 in revenue!

it could be also the time to remove completly DRM. I would then buy more mp3s, but these restrictions... I better download something then... ITS STUPID!!!

Did I ever mention anything in there about it being right or wrong? That is a big fat NO.Moral and ethical qualification cannot be uniformly applied to every aspect of life. You have your beliefs and preferences and I have mine.

you could have just bought them on ebay, ripped them and then sold them again
