Secondly most aren't willing to pay when they can legally stream it for free, meaning there is more value in letting them steal it so you can reach those willing to pay for it. My point still holds.

Thirdly I don't pirate music.

    You can tell yourself whatever you want to try to rationalize stealing, but at the end of the day you're still a parasite.

      You wouldn't say that if you were a musician. If it takes you months to produce one song, more for an album, you'd really expect to be paid for the amount of work you do. If 10,000 people have a copy of your song and only half of those people actually bought your cd/songs/digital downloads, then you only get half the money you earn. Keep in mind the actual artist only gets a very small percentage of the money their songs/cds makes. That means that if 10,000 people have one of your songs and 5000 pirated this song, then if you made 20cents per song, you lose $1000 per song.

      What if you worked as a lawyer and won 20 cases, but only got paid for 5? Exposure doesn't pay bills.

              time cook should announce this results around Nov or Dec as most people who paid either forgot or don't know how to cancel the free trail which comes to an end around this month.

                On topic Apple would be able to sell millions if they released a plain toothbrush with an Apple logo on it. Their marketing team is really good, so people feel special if their goods and services are produced by Apple, even with no other benefit.

                        You all have a problem with  "ripping customers off" by selling them a device that can be covered by manufacturers warranty for a year, accidental for two years with  care and unlimited support resources but have no problem ripping off musicians yourselves.

                        Shame on you all for using pure ignorance to try to bash a company that has brought validity and relevance to so many artists. Shame on you for stealing from these same artists...

                              well yeah that true because the amount of people I have coming to my phone shop asking me how to stop it is insane. They made it easy to sign up but impossible to opt out.

                                      Of course there will be a large amount of paying subscribers at this stage.

                                      The free period will have ended for those signing up at launch and many will not have opted out of auto-renewing the subscription.
