but iPod doesn't have a "monopoly" on music, not even close, so this guy is uneducated. you can get music from radio, cd's, albums, pandora, etc... the iPod is "vertically" integrated, NOT a "monopoly", so he doesn't even know basic business vocabulary. geesh!
When the canadian I know talked about iPod, I was sure he was talking about iPad. and Sean (as well as the interviewer) the same way. They are talking about the iPod right? :D

Who has a problem with iTunes or the 'Apple Monopoly'... uh, nobody, unless you're a competitor. No one has a problem with it because it plays pretty much every format. That's "Fairplay DRM" and if you're a normal user, you should never bump into its limitations. Best of luck Sean.
@wesscoast *SIGHS* Study A little economics please, Sean Parker is a Billionaire so apple monopoly wont bother him as it does us. Monopoly is bad for us the consumers because it means that Apple can sell us ridiculously overpriced gadgets and get away with it. If Apple had a equally trendy competitor do you think the Mac would cost $2000? For a LAPTOP! So Yeah Apple Monopoly IS the consumer problem, cause we are getting exploited BIG TIME in case you haven't noticed.
@TheQueenl92 - But Apple doesn't have even close to a monopoly... that term is used for "market distribution, control, then abuse", Apple probably has around 14% of the overall "music market"... and you need to have around 80% to be termed a monopoly. So learn about business before posting.
@TheQueenl92 - Mac laptops start around $1,199, desktop Macs around $599, so quit trying to lie. You get more than what you pay for when you buy an Apple, we all know that... so quit with the hate.
@boogiebuddy01 well ...you dont get to be a billionaire by having qualities normal people respect...sean parker stole music...mark zuckerburg fucked his friends over...bill gates created a whole market model which set the trend for monopolisation...which steve jobs perfected by suing everyone and their dog...any company that has more than fifty percent marketshare should be avoided on principle-- there used to be laws against it.....
lol hes not "evil".. he single handedly cost the music industry billions of dollars of potential profit... which then led to massive loss of profit in the movies and game industries.. depends on your standpoint on file sharing i guess. anyone wants to blame anything, it should be high speed internet.. noone would download shit on 56k.
Apple are such fucking cunts, I don't even bother using my iPhone/Ipod for music anymore - because I can't stand itunes. Its the most restrictive program on earth, things like transferring music between your own devices is an absolute nightmare, you click one wrong thing and it will wipe your entire music album.
Not to mention for a company that pays its employee's in the third world $5 a day (and has suicide nets installed around their facilities) their products are overpriced as fuck.
Apple is not a Monopoly. Jobs and his team created a brand, like a fanzy club where dress code is enforced, and only pretty people can enter. That's what Apple created a brand where certain people can have access. This way you keep "ugly" people away. Jobs is selling you what people want, and that is "I'm special" Jobs is making Apple users feel they are more special than Android users or any other.
@bouyon4dmasiv or the caster picked the right person, the director directed correctly, the support staff and other actors helped him in his acting. You pick ;)
@abarford1 lol you cant seriously be trying to suggest that justin's performance is more due to the efforts of everybody else! it just sounds like you have something against Justin. in any case, yes the caster did pick the right person, justin was perfect for the job. kudos justin on a great audition!
@bouyon4dmasiv Yes thats what I'm saying, lets see him try a diffrent role, the caster did a great job finding sombody who acted, sounded and somewhat looked like Parker. Justin isn't an actor he's a freggen singer ya muppet
@bouyon4dmasiv Technically you cannot compare a movie to a real life situation, Because this guy is asked a question and has to come up with an answer on the spot. Whereas Justin Timberlake, had to memorise [memorize] a script. Think about it.
@TheMystifySive i wasnt comparing the movie to a real life situation, im seeing this interview of sean, and noticing traits that i felt justin pulled off in the movie, which led me to state that he did a good job playing him. its like if i stutter alot when i talk, and some chick has to play me and she stutters the same way i do, someone watching the gig would say this chick did a great job playing me, THATS ALL IM SAYING
@supermario103 Clearly you don't understand him. What he is trying to say is that if you download music from anything other than iTunes (i.e. Rhapsody), you can not transfer it to your iPod. The formats aren't the same which means you can not put them on something like a Zune or any other music player.
@chammer221 i have 1000 songs all family guy american dad and cleaveland show eps on my ipod and it took less than 5 mins to download them all from different websites such as familyguyx letmewatchthis and youtube and with music limewire shareza and internet sites and convert them all into my ipod format and vice versa where i can change them to another format. it really is nothing when you know what your doing
@chammer221 - no, you are confused, you can put ANYTHING that is standard on an iPod, iPad, iPhone, Mac, etc... Apple only uses OPEN standards so there is no lockin. You are thinking of "Microsoft" where they use proprietary formats so you can't move around, but Apple is fully open. Download from Amazon, Rhapsody, or a CD, the iPod, etc will play it with great fidelity. That's why the iPod is so popular, it plays anything.
@ChuckNorrisKratosLOL I would have taken your admonishment of narrow-mindedness more seriously if wasn't framed with such narrow-minded language.

Personally i never touch the stuff; pot or business,and i don't really care about money, i hate it, in fact...which is why i make sure to get rid of what little i ever have.

lol.... if honestly thats a problem, most people just download iTunes... thats how Apple makes more money. it forces ppl to use iTunes to use their iPod,which introduces them to the iTunes Store...
he makes it seem its a problem for Apple cuz ppl with Napster or Rhapsody cant put their music on iPods... well they should make them in mp3 format and give us the real song fucker. im tired of this DRM shit. peace.
Look at the other guys... Old World / The New World Order!! This guy is fast. The old ones are trying to look.. important.. and understand what he is talking about!
Sean Parker is so far out of the loop. People have ALWAYS been able to burn CDs to their computers and then put the music on the iPod. In fact that's how it was when the iPod got started because there was no iTune music store. When Apple did launch the music store it was the record companies who wanted DRM. And being that Apple had the biggest product at the time it was only logical that they create the defacto DRM and license it to everyone. But other music services went to Microsoft instead.
Apple DEVIANTLY takes advantage of stupid people and makes millions of dollars. These stupid people then turn around and act pretentious. Fuck you Apple
@niggerhigger1030 business and evil...aren't they literally the exact same thing? If you look up "evil" in the dictionary doesn't it says "see business"?
@zjbeast Businessman are mostly posers... business is just about having a babyface and convincing people of investing their money on your business... really its nothing more...
That was the big buzz about Bill gates, the dud was a businessman with technical skills, real technical skills, he was a programmer, a great programmer and even paul allen acknowledged it.
@hectorcaceres04 - but Apple doesn't work that way... they've never been in it for the money, it's all about making the world a better place. Sure, money is a side effect of that effort, and helps people in the process, but employees don't work at Apple to make a lot of money, the culture doesn't allow it.
@niggerhigger1030 Its not like they are mutually exclusive terms is it?
JPmorgan, zuckerburg, goldman sachs, mcdonalds, cocacola, halliburton, carlysle group. BP, shell, exxon, gap, nike, ...i could go on with the list of evil corporate entities but they are all synonymous with very evil deeds and ruthlessness.
makes very good busness sense to be evil---its how you make a BIIIIIIIIIIILLION DOLLARS- just like doctor erm... Evil?
@opilime yeah, cause we don't need a shity little white device, made by a company with exclusive and expensive pieces of crap, with a half eaten apple on them...
@sebastianave 250 million ipods vs over a bilion phones and about 200 milion mp3 players sold world wide? and you tell me to get my facts right moron?
I somehow agree with him.. I always thought that Apple is not convenient with their own format of everything... & I refuse to use anything of Apple's for that reason...
his comments refer to the average music consumer, which are uninformed. that's why they chose to buy songs in apple's own format instead of the more popular format that's the mp3, which is supported by practically all the other mp3 players on the market.
@KingOfShadows92 I agree if the other companies was able to keep up and be innovative they would have done what apple have done or even be better then the ipod.
I don't agree at all. Apple does have competition, but its competition fails - time and time again - to deliver a product as technologically impressive as the iPod. And while Apple does control content with Itunes, it is only because no other company can rival its convenience and easy use.
Apple is a corporatist corporation who hates any competition. They believe patents create a monopoly of ideas. Patents are how we do things with our ideas. Apple's definition of patents stifles any creativity and does not allow the market to improve upon bad products and compete with poor business models. It rewards laziness and failure.
what monopoly?

@KingOfShadows92 I agree if the other companies was able to keep up and be innovative they would have done what apple have done or even be better then the ipod.

I don't agree at all. Apple does have competition, but its competition fails - time and time again - to deliver a product as technologically impressive as the iPod. And while Apple does control content with Itunes, it is only because no other company can rival its convenience and easy use.

Apple is a corporatist corporation who hates any competition. They believe patents create a monopoly of ideas. Patents are how we do things with our ideas. Apple's definition of patents stifles any creativity and does not allow the market to improve upon bad products and compete with poor business models. It rewards laziness and failure.
