CNET: Apple customer resells iTunes song

“In an interview Wednesday, Hotelling said he was able to give the song to a friend, Keith Elder, a Web developer in Ypsilanti, Mich., whom he met through an Internet discussion group. In order to close the deal, Hotelling said he had to transfer control of his entire iTunes Music Store account to Elder. He said he intends to demand 50 cents from Elder for the account, which included one song, the Devin Vasquez remake of Frankie Smith’s song ‘Double Dutch Bus,’ which he’d originally purchased for 99 cents.

‘For the average user, I’d definitely say this was extremely difficult,’ he said. ‘I guess you could say we’re both extreme geeks.’”

It surprises me you guys have no clue what the point is. This reflects that there are many people out there who have no idea about or just don’t care to know the legal implications of MP3 and portable audio in general.

We are going to have this newlywed couple spend their entire 2 week honeymoon in this dryer, all expenses paid, just to prove a point....
