Dear Apple,

Your company has long stood for innovation and open competition. Wasn't it Apple that ran the famous Super Bowl ad encouraging consumers like us to stand up for our right to make our own choices? We're asking that you do the same now and support the right of your own customers to make their own choices about where they buy music for the iPod. We want Freedom of Music Choice! Don't lock us in to purchasing digital music from one source. That's bad for competition. It will stifle innovation. And it will slow the adoption of digital music devices like the iPod.

Do the right thing. Stand with us for Freedom of Music Choice!

    • Hey real, Get a good idea by yourself. 1984 was for consumers to have a choice thru innovation, not theft. Are you the "real" Micro$oft?

    • This is obviously a last chance style grasp at a market that REAL is losing exponentially. So is everyone else... So instead of trying cheap marketing ploys, why not actually go invent something on your own that DOESN'T suck. As for me and my family, we will use all things Apple.

Apple finally gets to be market leader in something, and this putz just can't stand it... I say "Apple, take as much time as you want! You're in the lead... You have the power to keep everyone else tap dancing around you... !! Keep it up !!!
