...would anyone download stuff legally? Fuck me, I've just finished my first ever legal download off iTunes (free, but legal). What an effort. Anyway, I eventually manage to get my new tune, then find out I can't even play the bastard thing. It isn't compatible with my phone (though it is compatible with realplayer, which my phone has, so I don't know) and it doesn't player on Windows Media Player. This is exactly why I don't buy anything with copyright protection on. I don't want to share it illegally or anything, I'd just like the novelty of actually being able to listen to it on something other than shitty PC speakers. Okay, rant over. Back to CD's and Limewire, I guess. It's the music companies' loss.
Anyone else hate copyright protection? Is that a stupid question?

Seems a bit arse backwards. :yes:
Ahem, downloading legal music exclusively makes you immune to their legal action. It's analogous to school bully, you either give him your lunch money willingly or he hits you then takes the money anway!
There should be something like a downloading licence (in same way as TV licence) were money is given directly to the artists.
