I have had iPods/iPhone over 4 years and have never bought even 1 mp3 from iTunes. I have bought a few apps (good value) but never any music.

Don't worry about a portable electronic device being bad for your "freedoms". Instead keep a close eye on your government.
And many of the readers mentioned have also been targetted by DefectiveByDesign, as have most DRM systems.

BTW, thread title is taken from the DefectiveByDesign page, not my own creation, but it's kinda catchy nevertheless...
