Phone conversation with an acquaintance of my boss. They wanted to host a server with all of the music they’d copied from CDs, pirated or downloaded from iTunes.
Me: ”Legally, I need to sway you from starting a website that charges people to download all of the music you’ve copied off of your CDs.”
Client: ”What? Why? There’s all kinds of places you can get music for free. iTunes charges. I’m like iTunes!”
Me: ”No, iTunes has paid for licensing to distribute the music and make a profit off it.”
Client: ”Whatever, I’ll just get one of those… Now, on to the design. I want it to look exactly like iTunes so people think they are using them. Can we even get a web address that’s similar? Something like uTunes or iMusic.”
Me: ”You know Steve Jobs enjoys suing people, right?”
Client: ”Who?”
