Anyone catch the new commercial from buymusic.com?
What a rip from Apple. They could have a least used a different color background. I'd rather pay the extra 20ยข and support an innovative American company that cares about the integrity of their product.

I dont know of buymusic so dont know what your talking about but those commercials are pretty weak, and a bit annoying.

view the commercials at the bottem of the page... total rips of apples commercials

omg. thats bad. I hope they get sued. The buymusic ones have a bit of humor to them, the apple ones are just annoying

hehe, i just know people will jump on this thread like starving carnivores on beefjerky, and say it's only folks on a white backdrop..
ah, screw that argument..
this is nothing but a rude, uninspired total rip-off..
but hey,
bad publicity is publicity as well..
buzz...
it's BUYMUSIC..
see?
the name is in my head now.
isn't advertising awfully wonderful?
beh..

they're not going to get sued... just notice that apple just has better taste in everything they do. the companies that rip them off just don;t get it.

damn, i think i use that sentence as a tagline!!
gee, i am so original i am going to touch myself now. :)

I saw them last night, and it was the EXACT thing, only thing different was more then one person singing.
I asked my girlfriend if she noticed that, and she thought it was an apple commercial.
I don't know how they expected people not to notice that.

rumor has it that tommy lee is one of the investors in buymusic.com
I wonder how many other companies like this are going to pop up.

you know what's funny?
i heard in the US you see those commercials on TELEVISION!
I have never seen a single Apple ad on Dutch TV, let alone other European broadcasts..

Yeah Tommy Lee was on Howard Stern this morning to help promote it.
Are they MP3's? Can they be played on an iPod? Does anyone see that on the site?
- 4cY0

I used to see other things 'pop-up' that involved Tommy Lee before.
