Actually, Craig, this is false. In theory, what you say is true. But, in
practice -- since at best you are only renting the hardware -- it's quite
common to end up with content that can't be played on a newer system.
I have a relative who is totally into his iPods, even when he has had to buy
the same content more than three times.
Just because people might be able to back up content, doesn't mean they
will.

You mean the ones you ripped?
There is no need to buy content over again with iTunes. It is easily
backed up and can easily be moved among multiple computers and
iPods/iPhones. I really wish you would stop pushing this misleading
garbage, which you have been doing for years. The essence of iTunes
is to protect and to fully utilize your investments in music. And
yes, you can burn CDs of the music you buy from the iTunes store.

Dittos for iTunes.

P.S. A significant portion of the songs sold through the iTunes store
are NOT copy protected, and there are rumors that the rest of the
studios are about to drop their DRM requirements for iTunes as well;
they already have with Amazon.
