(Assuming you&#x27;re referring to the James Pinkstone story referenced in the beginning) Sort of. Pinkstone was telling the truth in that iTunes did delete all his music, but after some follow-up with Apple it was determined that it was a bug and not, as he speculated in the first post, the result of a conspiracy to control what happens to music you already purchased (the Apple CSR was just clueless; which is well within the realm of possibility)<p>That doesn&#x27;t really matter to this story&#x27;s context though: the Slate author is complaining that its the general shittiness of iTunes, not any sinister agenda on Apple&#x27;s part, that is destroying his desire to collect music.
