I don't know why everyone is critisizing Ballmer, as his comments are generally quite true. Although I wouldn't necessarily agree to the extent he did, in the majority of cases people do have a fair amount of "stolen" music on their iPods or other digital device.

The reason the iPod was targetted is a) it's a competitor, and b) because it's the most popular mp3 player on the market. I do disagree with him naming the iPod, "digital device" or "mp3 player" would have sufficed.

However, all the people kicking up a fuss are either a) Apple enthusiasts so very much biased, b) Lying, c) Geniune music buyers, but with little understanding of what's really going on.
