BuyMusic - selling personal info!!!
PC people are suckers. They have no class nor clue. I truely feel sorry for them.
By using Apple's look and feel, a casual user will look at it and think, "oh, that's that Apple thing..." then, when they see that it's for Windows too, they'll think, "oh, Apple's thing is for Windows now?" They'll then go to Apple.com for more info.
If Apple's on their toes, they will place a note on the iTMS website with a tentative release date for the Windows version. This way, they do not lose focus.
Buy.com are idiots. This is free publicity for Apple.
You can tell they were hired actors and it just doesn't flow as smoothly as the Apple commercials. I've seen more convincing fakes by people using their DV Cam at home.
I'm not even going to dignify buy.com by even visiting their site. Before, I didn't mind occassionaly buying a book or cd from them. But if they think people (their customers) are this stupid, it's not worth my time.
Buy.com just lost a customer.
The commercials are really weak... are they supposed to be funny?
Also I've noticed that other companies are ripping off the switch commercials. Ameritrade has a switch commercial and an actor plays all the switchers. isn't spoofing apple's but is tryign to be funny.
Some e-matchmaking site rips it off too... but doesn't spoof it.
I knew as soon as Buymusic.com's shortcomings were known that word would spread quickly. The negative reports and news stories about there inconsistent licensing and pricing are appearing all over the web. It won't be long before we are saying bye to buymusic.com.
I agree with what others have been saying about them ripping off Apple and rubbing their noses in it. I used to always buy things from them but those times are over. The statistics may show that Apple sells a tiny percentage of computers but that doesn't take into account the installed base. I also doesn't take into account how much consumer Macs are used verses PC's. I think they will see a much larger backlash against them than they expect.
So thats funny? Tommy Lee ripping the www.apple.com/music guitar appart??
Just FYI, the phrase is actually "cut off your nose to spite your face", not "despite your face". It generally means to put yourself at some disadvantage in order to harm an adversary..... I'm not quite sure the phrase would apply here, although it could perhaps could be construed to have some relevance.

Can you say
Cut your nose despite your face.
Or in this case, facelessness.
They lost face here.
I wonder if the "rest of us" will notice it?
Once again, Apple pioneers, someone steals, and the song goes on.
I'm so very happy to be an Apple person right now.
