The iPod was released 25 years ago today but at the time I had a 64Mb Rio and no money so my first iPod was still a couple of years away.

But I remember April 28, 2003 vividly, the day the iTunes Store and paid downloads came out.

I was working at Creative Commons and our CTO Ben immediately bought a song then shared it with us we could try hacking on its security.

This image is a poster with four colored panels, each featuring a silhouette of a person dancing while wearing headphones and holding a music player. The colors of the panels are yellow, blue, pink, and green.
