Apparently, a lot of people do like it too. (They are valued at about $2 TRILLION)

I guess I look at it as it's their product, they can do what they want, and I can buy it or not buy it. I thought that was called capitalism.
I agree that it is capitalism. But, would it be so difficult for Apple to make IPhones compatible with the WMA (Windows Media Audio) music file format? I have 13,000 WMA music files that I cannot share with IPhone users. It seems very petty of Apple.
