Interesting isn't it? According to UK law, if you buy the 'full price'
chunk of polycarbonate, you aren't even allowed to copy it to your
walkman/mp3 player/ipod, whatever. We have no 'fair use' consideration
at all in law, and yet the cheaper downloaded version of the same album
can be copied 15 times without breaching any copyright law. That's bad
legislation, even if it is hardly ever enforced.

I don't think is anything to do with that, but the licensing agreement
that Apple has arranged with the record companies.

OK, you need to be able to read a CDR, but the copies I've made have all
worked perfectly in anything I've tried. I'd defy you to tell the
difference in a car stereo too.

I downloaded iTunes on the day it was released, only to find that it
wasn't available in the UK at the time. Of course, you have to do a 20
odd meg download and install the software before Apple tell you that...

20 odd megabytes is less than a decent web browser now!

I'll probably give it another go at some point.

You have nothing to lose. They also do a free weekly download now, and
some haven't been bad either.
