Du'ers with Ipods--we need your help...!
Can you confirm that ABC's movie (Path to 9/11) streams free of charge on Sunday night? If they also stream the pResidential message in the middle, we need to know that, too.

Please check in here, if you are willing and able to do this.

My reason is, it's one thing to write, call and complain to them PRIOR to the event, which I know many of us have done. But if after ALL the feedback they still stream it for free, they are just as guilty as Disney/ABC for sending out rw propaganda--FREE over ipods. While ipods are items that consumers must purchase, there are other options in mp3's. I know people that bought the ipod solely because they believed Apple was a Democratic company.

We need to know if they don't honor our requests to not air Path to 9/11, and let them know we will boycott them after this. The Christmas Season is coming up. We can hurt them, too.

1. You don't need an ipod
to download itunes and download podcasts, it's free and anyone can do. Just go to www.apple.com.

2. It's not up at the iTunes store yet
That's where most people would access it.
Sometimes iTunes doesn't offer content until AFTER the event., show, whatever.

4. ABC exec stated movie available for free streaming & iTunes download.
From Variety.com on Sept 4: "McPherson said by offering the show for free on iTunes and via streaming video on ABC.com, the net hoped to expose as many people as possible to the findings of the 9/11 Commission, whose report forms the basis of the mini's script." http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117949477?categoryid=14&cs=1

Streaming and download is not iPod specific/limited.

5. Then this is even worse...
no better than having Scholastic send study guides to schools. (Thankfully Scholastic has corrected this error in an admirable way).

Do you know how many MORE people can see this garbage if it can stream for free on a computer?

:puke:

Apple needs feedback on this, too! :mad:
