Dark,
You haven't needed the iTunes program for a number of years now. I know for
a fact that iTunes files can be played in Windows Media Player, edited in
Goldwave, and I almost completely sure they'll play in Winamp. Keep in mind
though that this is for music and podcasts only, movies and tv shows still
have DRM attached to them as they would anywhere.

Hi.
Last I checked if you downloaded a track in itunes, you couldn't use it
without the itunes program at the least, if this has changed I would
indeed be interested to know, since it is the chief reason I do not buy or
use itunes since I want the freedom to listen to any music or books I buy
in any compatible device, ---- indeed since I've painstakingly sat and
created a configuration file for winamp which runs exactly with my desktop
speakers, obviously i'd prefer to use that.
As regards the comments about the community, the issue is not one of
copywrite or anything like that. if justin were still around and selling
his games, even if not updated I'd be the first person to support him,
however the issue is one of legacy. Justins games will not be around
anymore, in any way shape or form plane and simple.
This is something which sega, nintendo and mainstream companies got fairly
quickly, which is why game collections for more modern consoles not to
mention services like Wii virtual console, xbox live etc still exist, and
are the place you can still get all your old games, yes you have to pay
for them, but that is not the issue, (as I said, I'm the first to agree
that developers should sell their games). The same might be true of taped
music going to cd, or video casettes going to dvd. Yess, you might have to
pay for the new hardware format, but the thing is still available.
It is justin's unwillingness to make his games available and effectively
saying "anyone who doesn't buy from me in the next month can't have them"
which is the issue here, not his right to sell them or anything else. if
another developer were selling them, that would also be fine, but again
that is not the case.
As to the community, well there are scumbags anywhere. I have noticed
people have a huge downer on the games playing community in general
because of a number of pirates. yes, there are people who believe that
they are entitled to steal a dev's work because they are blind, or the
like, but please don't tar everyone with the same brush since there are
also plenty of people who do! indeed wish to support game developement as
wel.
I have I'm afraid noticed a tendenccy among some people to over emphasize
and sterriotype the community generally, and believe the worst of
everyone's motives because of some less pleasant individuals.
for example, as I have explained myself my issue with justin has nothing
to do with entitlement, being blind or anything else. I might feel exactly
the same if a developer of graphical indi games, or indeed an audio drama
company behaved in the same way.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
