Entertainment Bruce Willis fights Apple over iTunes music collection.

[iPeez]

BRUCE Willis is preparing to take Apple to court over who owns his huge digital music collection after he dies. UPDATE
The Die Hard actor, 57, wants to leave the haul to his daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.
But under iTunes' current terms and conditions, customers essentially only 'borrow' tracks rather than owning them outright.
So any music library amassed like that would be worthless when the owner dies.

It's like the goblin's claim on the sword.

I am not quite sure but it seems to me like your english is becoming a tiny little bit worse with every post you make. Problem is, you are making too many posts in too little time.

That wasn't even an answer! Well, does he or doesn't he?

The thing is, he actually bought a TON of songs on iTunes. When you purchase a song or an album it actually says "Buy Song" or "Buy Album", but they've been sneaky and in their terms of use, or what ever (Holy geek! I HATE all the LEGAL BULLSKIT!), it's hidden that you "borrow" songs and albums. You don't own them, even tho it's says "Buy Song".

Also quite a few people turned the wrong way and said Bruce was being a birch about the case (because he has so much money) and some said he's actually just trying to make a point.

also..

...even though Apple now provides you with DRM-free files, all you own is a license to play your music on up to five devices under your control and you can’t legally pass them on to others....

If Bruce Willis is involved... say goodbye to Apple guys...

Edit: And people wonder why people all over the world download
stuff (music in this context) illegally... because paying for something you don't
own makes so much more sense -_-

He'll f' em up!

Honestly music is the last thing I'd be thinking of passing on in my will... it would probably be forgotten amidst the things like houses, cars, money, debt, life insurance, slaves, my lighter collection, and my land on one of the moons around Jupiter.

Not sure if serious, or half serious.

Well this is exactly why Bruce is doing this, he obviously has enough cash to leave behind to his daughters that they would be able to buy their own music, its the practice of fighting the Apple overlords

 

[Jindo]

But he's not doing this, the article was totally false.

Never trust The Sun.

 

[SouLEDGE]

Oh really? Sigh, was hoping that Apple was going down...

 

[Varine]

Well who wants to sue Apple in his stead? If we get enough of us we can't lose.
