Who the hell cares? The Beatles are mega rich and I happily download their songs from Torrent giving them not a penny more than they already have.

If you can't muster up the energy to get off your fat a#* and go to a CD store, you are not "music worthy", and certainly not "Beatles worthy."

Money aside, having easy access to Beattles music on iTunes would be nice, but nothing can match breaking out the old vinyl. That's how music was meant to be played!

The Beatles can kiss my hairy backside. They have lived their lives ten times over from their well outdated music.

Muster the energy... Teehee, whatever!

I buy the music of the people who are not already rich from it. I will not further fill the pockets of those who have WAY too much money already, it is just pathetic greed on their behalf. I will NEVER download music of independent musicians because they need the money to fund their projects.

Can you honestly say the Beatles NEED any more money than they already have? Do they deserve any more? No way. They have MILKED the planet for music made DECADES ago.

And all the while, other musicians, far more are STRUGGLING to make just enough to produce their next 12" record...

Does iTunes support the minority groups? Does iTunes support those trying to make a break? Do you?

I do.

Kameleon, I think you missed my point. I was expressing my disappointment at how people buy music online thesedays instead of getting the physical product that the artists have worked hard on, including jacket artwork, photography etc.

I buy the music of the people who are not already rich from it. I will not further fill the pockets of those who have WAY too much money already, it is just pathetic greed on their behalf.

Well, I am a music fan. I buy the music that I like. I don't consider the financial status of those who produce it.

Can you honestly say the Beatles NEED any more money than they already have? Do they deserve any more? No way. They have MILKED the planet for music made DECADES ago.

Sorry, I don't see your point. Are you saying that the Beatles have forced "the planet" to buy their music over the last 40 years?

I agree with your point, Kameleon. However in 1963 The Beatles were one of those same starving bands trying to make a living. The money came later. The Beatles knocked down a musical door for countless bands to follow, yet regretfully most don't make the yen that John, Paul, George and Ringo did. Not to say that it couldn't happen.

As for iTunes, I have found more unknown indie bands searching through iTunes than I ever have at Tower Records. Support All Music.
