How I Became A Music Pirate

A little later that evening, I tried to move the .WMA files into iTunes, when I received an error message telling me that iTunes could not import them because they were copy protected. I downloaded the files again (which took another 12 minutes) and again, the same message.

You can see where this story is going, and it’s a perfect example of how the music industry is pushing people towards illegal downloading. I don’t use an iPod like player, and certainly never purchase music online, so I never run into this problem. Buying the CD and ripping it yourself beats any other solution out there. But, for the millions of people unlike me, legally purchasing music is becoming more of a job than a joy.
