News: Real CEO: iPod users steal music: “If you want interoperable music today, there is a very easy solution: it’s called stealing,” Glaser said. “The average number of songs sold for the iPod is 25, and there are many more songs on iPods than 25. About half the music on iPods is music obtained illegitimately either from an illegal peer-to-peer networks or from ripping friends’ CDs, which is illegal. But it’s the only way to get non-copy protected, portable, interoperable music.” (Via iPodlounge.)

I'm shocked, I'm shocked... My iPod:

SourceNumber of tracksHours
Podcasts3618.3

From my CDs2839249.6
Total2999276

CDs (the true CD, not the copy-protected, Philips-trademark infringing junk): non-copy protected, portable, interoperable, as well as high quality compared with current commercial downloads. If Glaser put his efforts into finding a way to really make the CD obsolete with a superior product, he might not need to waste his time dissing Apple.
