Wow! Apple iTunes declares itself too poor to actually pass on its profits to music artists! Gosh, and you’d think the poor press would make them think twice about absorbing this cost. I guess we should all just look for some free torrents now. Or maybe visit an actual music store and buy a real [...]
MY EYES!!! (Edit: video removed)
