Hi all, this is a message I sent to a performing duo, to whose distribution list I am subscribed, after noting that their new single is available (only) on iTunes.

I'm a big fan of your “Shine 4U” and “Big Love” singles and so would like to buy IDGAF. However: 1. iTunes does not run on Linux, which is my operating system of choice, and which is close to be 100% free-and-open-source software (FOSS). 2. Even if it did and assuming it was open-souce there (fat chance given that it's Apple), I would refuse to support Apple with my wallet because they are a harmful company, see: http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/anti/apple/ . As a result, I request that you please make your singles available on a music store that does not require me to comply with Apple's whims. http://www.greensunmusic.com/ which I'm also a fan of is using CD Baby at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/greensun2 , and it works perfectly fine in Linux, while using standard browser tools alone. Please consider using it as well as iTunes. Sincerely yours, -- Shlomi Fish -- ------------------------------------------ Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Electrical Engineering studies.
