“Apple and Pepsi announced in October that they would be giving away 100 million songs. The giveaway will officially launch on Feb 1st with a Superbowl Ad.
The first specially-marked bottles are already making their way into circulation… with one reader (MacBoyX) buying an iTunes-marked 20oz Diet Pepsi bottle (and winning a song) in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.”

Would it be illegal, if, say I owned a gas station store, to have a little bucket that said .25 for iTunes caps, for those who’d just throw them away? 75% off baby!

I’m a Cola-Cola person normally, but I plan on seeing what I can do about switching over to Pepsi during the contest.
