Photographer, Flickr dude extraordinaire, Thomas Hawk weighs in on Apple’s announcement of the billionth iTunes download. I think he’s right on and his point is the reason why I’m still uneasy about embracing iTunes. I posted twice about this in the past and, despite actually buying a song from iTunes in August, I’ve only bought one other song since. Both purchases were ones that I’d consider throwaways. If I really want a full album, I’m sticking with CDs. Of course, going that route doesn’t avoid the DRM nightmare as evidenced by the Sony DRM debacle that continues to make news.
