| I hope James Speth will be able to rework its interface and make it "Apple compatible".

| it must be the idea of making apple so directly connected to pirating. although i can remember when a certain p2p client featured an ad for the ipod at the bottom. perhaps apple took some flak for that and is now being extra careful about their association with such activities. |

| i've just deleted 2 posts from this thread. this is not going to become a discussion for how to illegally share mp3's nor a place to request them.

| Well, I guess Apple's gotta do what they gotta do, but did they really have to do that? Couldn't they have just asked the guy to disable the download capability? I downloaded iCommune after hearing the cease-and-desist news just because I was intrigued (I don't think there is anything that would have given iCommune more publicity than what Apple did!) and it doesn't seem like it would be a particularly efficient way to steal music. Just a good way to listen to your friends' music, which can be perfectly legit. I mean, you had to know and enter by hand the person's IP address, didn't you? Maybe they were afraid it would turn into something else? I guess he still would have been violating the developer agreement. I'm not a real developer or a lawyer, so could someone please explain to me 1. Why did Apple built such a clause into their contract? Isn't a "good thing" for third parties to add on to your program? Don't your users get more functionality while you get no additional responsibility? 2. Could Apple get in trouble from the RIAA for a third party plug-in? |

| to jeb - listening to your friends music is one thing. but "taking" his/her music and putting it on your computer is NOT legal. and i'm pretty sure thats how it works isn't it? i could be wrong. to bolindilly - i doubt this is what you mean, but when i read your post, the first thought that crossed my mind was, "wow, what a big fat liar." its just the way it is displayed i guess. i would think that most people would 'ask' how it works, but idunno. ok, i'm sorry if i seem cross, but i guess i'm just having a moment. sorry if i stepped on some toes... |
