Most people might have notice the news or the changes at iTunes. Yes we are able to access the content at iTunes Store and finally after n years of wait. So I asked, is this good news or bad news? Honestly I have mixed feeling about Apple iTunes Store.
The good news about iTunes Store
Finally an easy way to access my favorite music and songs. Personally I enjoy music and songs but I do not enjoy to buy the entire album cause not all the songs in the album is my like. I prefer to pick songs. Do I have options for online music download? Actually I do (Please note that I am not referring to Torrents or other illegal download, I am not encouraging that and I support original). Most of the telco in Malaysia do offer their own music download service but the selection is limited and limited to their subscriber as well, and I guess we always welcome the largest music store in the world to be on board.
iTunes Store would also offer their movie selection as well (no TV drama series yet, sad), you can either buy or rent your favorite movie. Might not be the popular culture here due to the not so fast and not so reliable internet access for movie streaming (and other reason as well...). Unifi is fast, no doubt, Unifi is reliable, question mark. You do not wish to stream and watch your favorite movie halfway and suddenly paused for buffering :D. Potong stim ler.
The bad news about iTunes Store
Local culture and people acceptance. The people here are still skeptical about online shopping. People are concern about security and the risk of having their identity and financial info being expose to online merchant. Beside that, I think the major stopper would be the popularity of piracy. I am not trying to encourage piracy but the facts is Malaysia still have a long way to go on eliminating piracy. Maybe future government can do a better job on this area :D. Hope for the best.
So people, the apple fans out there, just log on your iTunes and you will see the changes. Visit the iTunes Store even if you don't plan to purchase any music, you might find some surprise.
