ITunes "They Say/ I Say"

Recently, countries in the European Union have been fighting with Apple, the founders of iTunes, to make it possible for them to play their music that they buy on iTunes to be easily played on an MP3 player or other device. They feel that if they buy the music, they should be able to play the music where and on whatever device they want to. This is the "They Say" of the argument between many people and iTunes. They say that once they purchase their music it is their property and they should have the freedom to use it as they please.

N.J., the writer of the article, argues that it will only take a matter of 20 minutes to convert the music and is a simple process. The "I Say" of the argument is that people are becoming to lazy today and that they still can convert their music to play on an MP3 player. All that they have to burn a CD and then convert the music to an MP3 format. In fact, he says that Apple has never claimed that you can use an MP3 player to play their music, so how can people be upset over an issue that is not even part of the program? He states that until a "slick" device is made to cheat the system, "the whiners - and their lawyers - will continue to cry about problems that don't really exist."
