Yeah, blocking copyrighted music doesn't make sense. Think of how many customers they'd lose if people couldn't put their cd collection on their ipod. Apple is way to business savvy to do something like that.

MP3's are a pretty lossy file format, however, meaning that they lose information everytime they are transferred from one point to another. I could see Apple putting something in the software that would detect how much "loss" has occured, and if it's too much it could be determined to be pirated and not allowed to play. Still seems like a bad marketing move though.
Fengzi Reviewed by Fengzi on . ipod question pretty unrelated to marijuana,(although it's primarily for listening to music high)but you guys seem pretty nice so i might as well ask....I'm thinking about getting an ipod nano, and the apple site talks about all this buying songs for 99 cents bullshit. Do i have to buy all new songs or can i just take all of the mp3s and things i've downloaded or ripped off of cds and upload them onto it? Rating: 5
