I don't know how iTunes works but I know I "won" a free song from them and I knew I wouldn't use it so I sent the code to my brother to use and he emailed me the song that he got with it as a token of appreciation... He is a pure mac man and is not a hacker/pirate at all... so however he did it must be very simple if not semi legit... but I don't know the details as I don't like iTunes or a mac anyway.

I'm not an MS fanboy either.. I feel they both have merit... I just can't stand illogical arguements for one over the other.

*back on topic

So who is paying for the DVD rights this time? we don't have a dvd remote to buy now??? So now I have to pay rights for something I won't use?!

I wouldn't EVER hook up my iPod, or any mp3 player to my 360 but that's just the way it goes... if you want to put that "iPod compatible" sticker on your box you got to pay... same thing with XM and Sirrus radio for cars... I paid for that crap (ability to hook up sirrus) and I never plan on using it with my mp3 capable car stereo deck. It's just the game that everyone plays... and MS in this case is deciding not to play... I'm almost positive that MS gets royalties for WMA capable devices... yet I don't have any wma's *shrug* they get you one way or another... and in reality it's pocket change equal to what we have spent just talking about it in here.

Well, I think they are asking them to pay for the DRM that Apple pioneered and uses (and let's be honest, Apple was the first to make this all feasable for legal sell of mp3's THEN the rest of the industry jumped on the bandwagon) so just like WMA's from MS they want to get paid for their intellectual property of the DRM code that takes place to insure that the mp3's are legal... and that's MS's goal also... just they would rather brag then be legit in this case.

I SEVERLY doubt that DVD rights have come down all that much since xbox 1 it was just a way for MS to cut cost... I don't have a problem with it... but it's contradictory to not say this is in similar fasion.

If the Xox 360 doesn't play DRM'd files, then why would MS need to pay a fee? It's not like an MP3 on an iPod is any different than an MP3 on any other player. Anyone know if the 360 plays the AAC format stuff?
