I doubt it. You don't seem intelligent enough to say a word with 3

Wrong. I have no vested interest in Apple at all. I don't work for them,
don't receive any money from them, and don't have any of their stock.

But I guess it _is_ too difficult for you to understand that someone who
values quality computers and is willing to pay for them would also value
quality music - and be willing to pay for it.

That's right. It's also both the legal and moral way.
Not to mention, of course, that you don't even have your facts right.
The downloads are $0.99 each.

I guess you've managed to prove that you're really stupid.
Or, you can download most albums for $9.99.

Well, Apple charges $0.99 for tracks and $9.99 for the albums. Other
services charge as little as $0.69 for individual tracks.
So what's your excuse for stealing music now?
