Alright, this time last year I had about 500 or so songs illegally downloaded from limewire on my computer, then i found itunes and I find myself spending more and more each day dl'ing more and more music. I honestly think I am addicted to it, not only that, but now movies.... what to do, what to do??? its seriously like an electronic drug. Anyone else find themselve with this "addiction?"
The problem with the internet is it makes it
very easy to spend your money. One-click buying is great for the online stores, not so good for your finances if you find you
need the gratification. If you've got the money, that's OK, but if you're getting yourself in debt or simply feel you're spending too much, as you seem to, it's a problem. Shopping can be a particular problem for people prone to depression, particularly manic depression – I'm not saying that's your case, but it is for a lot of people.
I have an addictive personality. I know that. I once became addicted to the OTC drug Solpadeine some years ago. More people are addicted to this over-the-counter painkiller than any other (at least in the UK). It's a serious issue. I know I could never take anything stronger (or even anything "pleasant") or it'd be the end of me.
Anyway, what I'd suggest is that if you genuinely feel that this is a problem for you, contact Apple and cancel your iTunes account. If you then find you simply transfer your purchases to somewhere else, then you need to consider cancelling your credit cards, etc.
No problem here.
