Why paying for music is stupid.
I'm gonna be honest here, I download a fair amount of music from The Limewire. Mostly, it's stuff I used to have on LP or cassette, that of course is not playable anymore without a time machine. So I get stuff here and there. I also get the odd book on tape, since I already own the books in question. I don't think it's that big a deal.
Sometimes though, there are tunes I really want but just can't find online. In that rare case, I buy the tune on iTunes. I've bought less than 15 songs from iTunes the whole time I've had it. And I've never bought a movie from there since they are all over a Gig. Plus I think it's stupid to rebuy movies I already own just so I can play them on the iPod. But I digest...
Since I got my new logic board put in, I can no longer play my purchased iTunes songs. When I click on them, it tells me to authorize them. An authorization window pops up with my old Email address. I fill in the password and it then tells me I've used up all five of my authorizations. No es possible, as I have only owned four computers ever in my life. My first computer was n Apple IIc which didn't even have a modem. I can't imagine how I've gone through FIVE authorizations...
When I enter my current Email address, it tells me I have used 2 of 5 authorizations, but it still won't play the songs from iTunes.
I guess with that in mind...why would anyone pay for songs that give you all this trouble, when you can download trouble-free songs for nothing?
Also, why would a logic board mess up my authorizations in the first place?
And finally, if someone could Email me a mp3 or mp4 of Jonathan Coulton's Re: Your Brains, I would be eternally grateful. Got it!!
As for me, I'm at work. As I was complaining earlier, I'm working four opens in a row this week. It is hellish. I get no time to write, no time to see H, and very little sleep. Plus we're super busy and every other customer is being really annoying. It's not even 11am yet and I'm totally taxed. I've been trying to finish this post since 8:50 this morning. Sheesh!

They must have heard me thinking bad thoughts about them.
Thanks!
