We're not pirating your music. We're promoting it.

Some freako unknown musician guy says he's outraged because he saw his

albums for sale on iTunes but he's never seen a dime from us. See

here. He describes us as "a huge multi-billion dollar corporation that

has been selling thousands of dollars worth of my music and not even

acknowledging it."

Folks, I can't address the specifics of this situation, and frankly

I'm not up to speed on exactly what our arrangement is with this

particular artist or his label. But I assure you that we are

asbolutely fulfilling our end of whatever bargain we've made with this

fellow. And I will guarantee you that even if this fellow is not

getting any money from us, he is definitely getting attention for his

music by being on our store and that in itself is a form of

compensation.

We don't rip off artists. We love artists. We're all for the artists.

The crazy ones. The rebels. It's who we are. It's how we do business.

We're good. People who complain about us are bad. That's all I have to
