“Apple today finally launched iTunes in New Zealand, which means that people who own iPods can now at last legally listen to music on them. Whatever way they were getting music onto their iPod prior to today was almost certainly against the law. But with iTunes arrival you can now legally download whatever song you want, as long as you pay Apple to do so. We speak with Apple's iTunes Vice-President, Eddie Cue and ask why it took so long to get iTunes to New Zealand. Plus, the idea that New Zealand musicians now potentially have a far bigger audience is pretty exciting for everyone who loves New Zealand music. But Apple is a retailer; think of iTunes as a reinvented record store, so who gets our music to their market? And who clips the ticket on the way through? And given that if you are an iPod user you seem to have gotten along just fine prior to today's arrival of iTunes, are you going to want to shop there, or have you already well developed alternatives. To discuss this we are joined live by Chris Hocquard, a lawyer who specialises in music law and is also the owner of Amplifier (www.amplifier.co.nz) which is New Zealand's longest running, legal music download site and it deals only in New Zealand music.
Plus... Are we overprotective of our kids? What are the real reasons we drive them to and from school? Is that threat of 'stranger danger' real or just perceived? Today marks three years since a Queensland boy was abducted, his community has set up a foundation to educate children about their personal safety. ‘Stranger danger’ was also a message we strongly promoted here in New Zealand but is it the primary risk for kiwi kids? Mihingarangi Forbes looks at the new messages police want us to teach our children.
