Despite the growth of british culture in the 1960’s as Britain was almost fully revived from the destruction of the war, people still had limited choice into what they listened to on the airwaves with the BBC dominating and people practicality force fed the ideologies of the dull presenters and DJ’s.
Then new generations of DJ’s were born that stole the younger generation’s hearts with a new rebellious sound, they wanted to give what the consumer wanted and that was pure explicit rock n roll. These were the pirates of Britain while quite literally living on a boat to broadcast live radio, but why were they on the boat? Well they couldn’t get a license from any nation to broadcast their own radio transition, so they floated in international waters just off the coast of England where no law could prosecute them for a lack of a license.

Probably the most iconic of these so called pirates were the bandits on the boat called the Ross Revenge who were Radio Croline. Radio caroline made a host of famous DJ’s

Itunes genius

Itune Genius is a application made by Itunes to make life easier for its custermers, one of the ways is creating a play list arround a song that user likes. Another way its used is to recomend artist to the user by looking at their libary, surley this is a good thing for the industrie as its a better and faster way into finding new artist and songs...

A couple of reasons Genius is a good move for Apple, business-wise:

One, it encourages people with decent-sized iTunes libraries to listen more. I suspect that these folks are the most likely candidates to upgrade to newer iPods, and if they're rediscovering their music collections they're more likely to do that.

Two, it increases the "stickiness" of iTunes, and decreases the likelihood that I'll switch to some other service. It's like a moat around iTunes and the iPod, keeping would-be invaders out.
