Down with iTunes!

Previous communications with the iTunes Music Store Support have not yielded any results in removing the artificial restrictions on the music video that I *bought*. I am completely disgusted with the way your service treats me like a pirate, when I am *NOT*. I simply wanted to convert the video I *bought* into a format that would play on my MP3 player. Therefore, unless this video can be provided to me in a usable format, I want my iTunes Music Store account closed immediately, and the remaining $1.60 on my account to be refunded to me. If you have any questions, I am contactable on the above e-mail address.

Well, they *are* treating me as though I was a pirate. (which, admittedly, I am, but not very often and not for profit). It's probably a long shot to expect a cheque for $1.60, but I'm pissed off and it's just nine cents short of getting another song! The iTunes pricing is rigged so that you always end off with $1 < $1.69, it seems.

As for LG Excellerate, I have used my soon-to-expire points to buy the Borat DVD instead of another DRM-infested product.

My monitor is dying, so I'll have to go and buy a new LCD which will look fuzzy outside its native resolution. Damn.
