iTunes civilizes the p2p teen
Does iTunes prevent piracy? That's what this report (registration required) from the UK's PC Pro seems to conclude. 36% of US teens bought music using online stores in 2006, up from 28% in 2005 and 20% in 2004. P2P network use for obtaining unlicensed music fell at the same time according to the article, although the numbers are based on unreliable surveys, and the reported number of p2p-using households actually increased last year.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!
apple actually thinks that teens have now decided to buy $1 songs of itunes with F***ing annoying DRM instead of getting it for free.
wait lemme guess
Apple thinks this happened just because of the wonderful itunes interface.
i mean cmon its all shiny like the ipod
y wouldnt someone buy it
ok ok in all seriousness
i do believe that teens have had a moral change in their lives, they even started a boycott at school, our mascott is steve jobs. only problem is that i dont get it they have so much money cuz when i look at theitr computer they have 36,000 songs so im going to estimate that cost them $36,000.
NO WAIT I FORGOT!!!
apple is loyal to their customers (i mean besides the fact that they pull out a new ipod every six months so that u have to pay another $350 because I guess Steve Jobs tells u too, but hey hes god right?)so they give u a great deal u get one free song every 100 u buy so u save about $360 not to mention the "awesome" album deals which shaves off another $400 i guess
So wow my friends payed around $35,000
all because of apple.
am i the only one that sees something fishy about this?
and thats my rant for today...
Girl PLEASE!! No iTunes is gonna stop me from getting my bittorrent on!
Just kidding - I'm a big fan of your writing.
ps, if iTunes was as quick at putting House (and others) into my download queue as "TVShows" (great app) i'd buy in
