ITunesPerIPod.com promotes Voluntary Collective Licensing with a rather moronic opening question that I'd like to pick on for a moment:

APRIL 28, 2004 - Today is the one year anniversary of the iTunes Music Store. As of April 15, Apple had sold roughly 60 million iTunes and 3 million iPods (sources below). That's about 21 songs per iPod. For perspective, the smallest iPods hold 1,000 songs, and some hold 10,000 songs. So, when people fill up those iPods, where does all the music come from?

From our own collections of CDs we have purchased, you jackass.

OK, snarky ain't my style, and I don't mind the actual premise of the web site: that filesharing networks are (or potentially represent) a benefit for the public that should be supported by our copyright values. And they admit in small print that people rip their own CDs. But their subsequent assumption that people's interest in high capacity music players represents an interest in large quantities of free music is hard to swallow, and potentially offensive to people who don't already agree with them on their actual point.

Their "catch" is lame, but could be extended to something more reasonable, though less catchy: If, from either purchased albums or iTMS, the average cost of a song is somewhere between 70 and 99 cents, then it'd take $7,000-$9,900 to fill a 10,000 song iPod with purchased music, and "obviously" few people are doing that. But the premise is still broken, because I have a 10,000 song iPod, and you know what's on it? My entire CD collection ripped to MP3s, every Audible audio book I ever licensed, a handful of audio files (music and non-music) distributed for free by their creators, and lots of blank space.

How full is your iPod?
