Part of what (made|makes) Apple great is the willingness to say no to sub-standard solutions. I think they would be better off not selling content at all that doesn't live up to the standards of the ecosystem. Growing their content library more quickly doesn't help Apple or the content industry if it creates bad blood with purchasers.

Email Tim Cook and tell him. That used to be a valid way to get an issue on Jobs's radar; maybe it still works.

I doubt he reads HN, though.
