Okay, but what in reality does this mean? They're not going to come knocking and confiscate my iPod are they! Or any burnt to disc CD's for that matter, if I leave it to somebody else.

**** that, when I die I'm just gonna leave my hard drive with my music on it to my heirs. What are they gonna do? Sue a dead man?

Then again, it is Apple so they may just do that It won't matter that I bought all my music from their competition, Amazon

1) Amazon's terms are the same
2) You're not really into buying music, are you?

I don't get it. Are they going to confiscate his ipod and itunes account when he dies?
This doesn't make any sense.

1. My joke was that Apple would sue me despite music being bought from Amazon.

2. I spend around 70 quid a month on music.

You don't really get humour, do you?

Surely if he'd just kept quiet and given his password to his kids then Apple were unlikely to ever realise.

I dont buy any downloads, currently using spotify

I just record the tracks, edit them, name them, put them on cd, saved my self £6 per cd filled with tracks, and when i compare them to a cd bought in a shop, there no difference, only thing missing is cd covers,

And \I recon Im not the only person doing this, how would spotify or itunes stop me

Your ip address would show up as someplace else, I have an account with dimeadozen torrent site for concert bootlegs, your only allowed to download to one ip address, if another ip address is used, its against the t&c, and you may lose the account

Downloads - the fine art of selling people nothing!

I know a guy who raises some cash for himself by selling off the odd single for £50 or so when he need a few quid ...



If I'd anything like Bruce Willis' money I wouldn't have a digital music collection! I'd be on eBay trying to score all those vinyl rarities I can't afford. Sure, he could afford to pay someone to digitise it all for him.

I refuse to buy downloaded music on principle and always buy what I want on CD and rip it myself to put on my MP3 player.

I somehow doubt Apple actively pursue the music collections of dead people.

So you are flagrantly breaching the copyright law which says that you cannot do this ... !
and you are prepared to say that you do it publicly !!!!!

You do not own all the items on a CD or LP or most mass production artistic works... so you cannot do what you like -
No difference from the Itunes story ... Just that with a CD there is physical media ...

Copying from a CD to MP3 player for your own use comes under the title fair use and the courts will recognise that. Besides I thought that the legal status of that had been changed?

To my knowledge, no one has ever been prosecuted for copying a CD to MP3 player and I doubt that would ever change. When I buy a CD, I will listen to it in any way I damn well please.

The original story about Bruce Willis isn't true by the way. He hasn't filed any law suit and there's no legal stature to it either.

I read this story yesterday and found it a bit weird. I would never think of leaving my itunes collection in a will to anyone
