Universal Music CEO says iPods are "repositories for stolen music"

Universal Music Group CEO Doug Morris is the latest tech exec to call iPod users thieves. Ballmer started it. Then came Glaser - who also dared call His Stevene "pigheaded." The comment was made in the context of the UMG bo stumping for Zune and a lauding Microsoft's agreement to pay protection money extortion royalties to the bag man Universal with every Zune sold.

About the iPod, Morris said "These devices are just repositories for stolen music, and they all know it,. So it's time to get paid for it."

Gee, Doug, you're not still bitter about A le rebuffing trying to buy your company, are you? Never mind. That was a rhetorical question.
