iProducts were never subversive. I don't think the piracy explosion was either. Before Napster the only people sharing mp3s were people who would be trading tapes before there were mp3s , after iTunes caught on people sharing mp3s were people who would have been trading tapes before there were mp3s. In between, piracy was the way you got music in your preferred format. That wasn't subversive, that was being the most convenient option. But yeah, don't let Apple manage your music collection. Disks are cheap, and so is rsync.net if you want an offsite backup.
