All I know is...
...when Bono came out last year crying crocodile tears that "someone is trying to leak our album to the public before we release it," a light went on above my head signifying:

1. U2 and Apple had hatched a plan together to help boost each other's revenue by using the publicity of phony "crimes" to give their newest products increased chances for success

2. U2 would hype, hype--then hype some more--their latest POS "leaked" album with IPod commercials and phony "democracy" crusades during election season

3. Apple would try to parlay the gamble that "albums can be leaked and shared across IPod networks" to capture the entire music-sharing market

Make no mistake: all IP laws are unethical, and any company that hides behind so-called "laws" is an enemy to free market liberty because they are practicing the socialism of centralized capital.

Boycott.
