Universal music is now saying anybody using an MP3 player other than a Zune is a theif. What's ironic is that every song I've downloaded for the past few years has come to me buy paying $.99 a song on iTunes. Apparently this doesn't matter, as since I'm using a non-zune player (as Zune is not compatible with iTunes purchased music) I'm a theif.

As I see it, I was trying to do the right thing. It's still fairly easy today to download songs off of P2P, yet I've gone iTunes all the way. But seeing as I'm still a theif, why am I bothering trying to do the right thing? Why should I pay another $.99 for a song if it's still stealing???

Being Microsoft won't be releasing Mac compatible Zune software (their choice) anytime soon, there is no possible way for me to get on the 'not stealing' list (as I don't own a Windows PC). Even if I didn't use iTunes, the only MP3 player choices I have that will still work with my Mac are limited to non-Zune players ONLY. And unless M$ decides to spend the time & release a Zune compatible piece of Mac software (I'm not holding my breath), I cannot seemingly use any type of MP3 player and not be a theif (seeing as downloading is not even a requirement to use an MP3 player).

So much for trying to do the right thing...
