Title: I am going to slap whoever is in charge of Apple! D<
Post by: MiriaRose on February 15, 2009, 05:08:49 pm
. . I'm actually trying to legally download a song, and it isn't letting me because apparently my aol screen name doesn't exsist, even though I've used it before to download songs via iTunes, a few of those instances not too long ago.

WOULD YOU RATHER ME STEAL MUSIC AND GET ARRESTED BY THE FBI, APPLE? SERIOUSLY?

So, anyone wanna give me any advice? ^^

What you get for thinking so smart to buy an Apple product! Actually anything high-tech gets on my nerves, 'cause it's ALL junk! That's why we pay the big bucks for it, right?

I didn't buy it, though, iTunes is free. xD

The songs, however, are not.

._.

Also, you're using a computer, aren't you?

One of the perks of work, which is why I can't post pictures of myself, or cute images, or even Google Earth, and much much more!

And my phone has bluetooth, so does my Macbook, but my phone is Windows, soooo.....

I just want to talk, watch fansubs, and maybe surf the net. But not spend hundreds of dollars to do so. sigh

I was a Luddite until I got my phone 2 years ago. No cell phone, no home computer. Just a monitor quality TV. Which is going on 10 years old, and still strong, and no problems with the advent of digital! It's there already.

If you want cheap internet, then join AARP and get the $5 a month, unreliable PeoplePC dial-up internet that'll die every Saturday!

. . Well, you won't be spending hundreds of dollars, at least?

I get free Internet through work. Dial-up. And that;s why I never am here on my days off! 3 minutes per page to load? no thanks. I ain't old enough for AARP stuff anyway.

I was thinking about going Hughes net, as the local phone company is one I bet you never heard of, and no one in town says anything good about them. So throw more money at them, and hope they deliver? sure...

So did you make a new person for you to get to your songs?

I would if I actually, you know, had a credit card/money.

But all of my money on there is from an iTunes gift card I bought myself.

Pirate it.


Buy it on Amazon.

Or Pirate it anyway.

Again, not credit card or money.

And pirating takes too long. xD I'll probably just make a new Apple account once I have money and buy it~

Bittorrnet is fast.

That could work.

I think I uninstalled it 'cause my computer was yelling at me to save memory.

It could, but I still wasted money. Dx

Drop me a pm saying the song and your email and I could get it for you.

You should think of someway to get some money then.

Maybe. But I try to be a law-abiding citizen. ^^

Good idea. xD

The law is overrated.

I wish you the best in your quest for money.

Hah. But I'd rather not be arrested because some bored police person was surfing the web and saw that some people were stupid enough to plan out pirating music on public forums.
Thanks.

The government doesn't care that much.

Apparently they do, and they've been cracking down. I don't know if it's true or not, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, y'know? Thanks for the offer, though.  :D

No prob. The offer still stands though.
What, we totally weren't talking about a scheme to pirate the music.

Haha. Where would anyone get that idea?

I use limewire for like 4 years and have not had a problem there may be people that dont like it but it is just a file sharing network but before you open a file that you download you have to scan it for any problems. i have not had any of them when i just downlaod music or the other option is to get it from a friend

LimeWire gave me viruses. Plus, all the computerdudes I know tell me it's bad news, and I believe them because I used to use it.
