This is beside the point that the thread is talking about digital music sales as it compares to digital book sales, and the antitrust potential of one in relation to the conviction of the other...
...which means that yes, I do expect people to assume everything in this thread is applicable to the shared trend of digital sales, and going beyond that should require explicit mention.
Feel free to continue being a nudnik about the issue, but as far as I am concerned, this ended here, which means I have nothing to respond to. |
For one thing, I'm not an Apple apologist. I criticize Apple when they do something I think is wrong, for example the Apple watch rollout. The world isn't divided into Apple apologist and Apple bashers. Most people use products they like and don't use products they don't like without assuming that anyone who doesn't make the same choices they make is some sort of fanboy. Most companies have good points and bad points.
You are welcome to do what you want. I'll continue to post as I wish, which includes pointing out less than factual posts in matters that I find interesting.
