iPod owners are thieves and liars
"Universal CEO Doug Morris revealed that the label refused to license its content to Microsoft's Zune Marketplace online store without royalties, arguing that his company requires compensation above and beyond direct music sales, regardless of whether Universal artists' music is ever copied to a Zune.
"These devices are just repositories for stolen music, and they all know it," says Morris. Link.
Universal will get a fee for every Zune player sold. Expect the other majors to jump in shortly.

And Universal is just a repository for aging dinosaurs who wish the world was still turning as it did when people like Doug Morris worked at Atlantic all those years ago and David Geffen was still making Eagles albums every two years for vast profit. Every time Doug Morris opens his mouth he looks sillier and sillier
People don't steal music. They listen to it. They just put it somewhere where they can listen to it over and over again. They do this because they like it. Whatever the big muso co's try to do to protect their fat wallets is futile. The only way to stop people listening to(or, in their own words 'stealing')music is to stop sound waves.
Co's like Universal just don't get it.
