Not that I'm against stealing music.

its getting off topic but I just felt that i need to get my frustration across here and why i am going to use allmp3.com services
1. DRM

I don't believe its fair for people to buy a song and be able to install it only on 5 computers. That means after 10 years when my 5 computers die, I will be left with songs that are not playing and iTunes will charge me again. I believe it is illegal in this country (U.S.) to charge people for the same product more than once? Or am I wrong here?
2. DRM
I don't believe its fair, to only be able to play videos and mp3s on apple ipods.
3. encoding. I am not an expert in this area and thats why I asked here. As far as I know the quality of 128kb/s mp3s is inferior to CD quality, yet I am being charge the same price. that means we get ripped off.

according to this source artists don't make money off iTunes sales or they make next to nothing. if this source is actually true that mean there is not much difference between allofmp3.com and iTunes except that you pay more.
