Sure, and the minute Apple gets wind of people trying to rip them off,
they'll discontinue the service. And you will have effectively put one more

C'mon, people. Don't poison the well for everyone just to make a point,
hassle Apple, or get something for nothing.
Besides, you think they're not watching this list?
