Hi all,

this is a message I sent to a performing duo, to whose distribution
list I am subscribed, after noting that their new single is available
(only) on iTunes.

Regards,

I'm a big fan of your “Shine 4U” and “Big Love” singles and so would
like to buy IDGAF. However:

1. iTunes does not run on Linux, which is my operating system of
choice, and which is close to be 100% free-and-open-source software
(FOSS).

2. Even if it did and assuming it was open-souce there (fat chance
given that it's Apple), I would refuse to support Apple with my wallet
because they are a harmful company, see:
http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/anti/apple/ .

As a result, I request that you please make your singles available on
a music store that does not require me to comply with Apple's whims.
http://www.greensunmusic.com/ which I'm also a fan of is using CD Baby
at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/greensun2 , and it works perfectly fine in
Linux, while using standard browser tools alone. Please consider using
it as well as iTunes.

Sincerely yours,

-- Shlomi Fish
