iTunes gets Political
Apple's iTunes has a very cool free offer: Any of the speeches from the Democratic Convention, the Republican Convention, or the 9/11 National Commission on Terrorist Attacks are availalble for free at the iTune music store. (note: you must have iTunes installed (Mac or Windows) for this to work!)
Way cool . . .
You can either launch iTunes, select Music Store, and then enter a search for " "9-11 commission" or "Democratic Convention" to bring up a list of selections . . .
or, just click below:
National Commission on Terrorist Attacks
UPDATE: 8/5/04 6:38am
NOTE: This link takes you to the downloadable version of the full 9-11 commission book; To access the testimony before the commission (for free), simply search for "9-11 commission."
To find any individual speaker, in ITMS, make the category titled "album" as wide as you can (to the right side of the screen). This will show the names of all the various speakers who testified before the commission. Download your favorite, or collect the entire set!

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference iTunes gets Political:
Technically, iTunes is only getting "political" because of their partnership with Audible, an audio ebook reseller (http://www.audible.com/). Audible is the company making the speeches and 9/11 reports available (you can see them all listed on the Audible site), and they show up in iTunes because Apple makes Audible's catalog available through the software.
So it's not like Apple or iTunes is deliberately becoming political.
