Bruce Willis V Apple

[Dowdsy McDowds]

This article was posted by a friend on Facebook earlier. Essentially Willis is hoping to pass on his iTunes library to his children when he dies but at the moment this isn't possible due to Apple's user agreement.

Willis has discovered that, like anyone who has bought music online, he does not actually own the tracks but is instead ‘borrowing’ them under a licence.

Most purchasers do not bother to read the details of the terms and conditions they agree to when buying an album but the small print makes it clear that music bought through iTunes should not be passed on to others.

Thoughts on this?

So, that brings the number of lawsuits involving apple up to approximately eleventy zillion. At least this one isn't patent trolling involving Samsung.

Should have read the user agreement like everyone else.

Thats the scenario I was picturing. Whether its Willis and/or his kids is another matter.

1) This story is apparently untrue.

2) The problem, if it does exist (and there's some question if it does exist) is not the fault of Apple, but rather the music industry.
