    Itunes not anti trust, appeals court may overturn the collusion ruling. Things are looking Up for Apple. Now they should fortify their systems and offer to let Sony post The Interview for rental/sale

    "Can I ask a question? If I bought an iPod is it not up to me what music I put on it and from where? "

    Yes,...if you have bought a system that has decided to make their system compatible with competitors...and open themselves to trust competitors to follow standards and formats.

    Good point Paul, hadn't thought of that... But I was trying to be subtlety sarcastic,... Evidently I failed ;-)

    The point I was trying to make... Apple has no obligation...WHATSOEVER.. to make their systems compatible with competitors.

    The other point commonly unexamined by the press is that monopolies have been found illegal over markets... Not products.
