Music downloads, specifically from Apple Computer’s iTunes Music Store, have gotten all of the press in terms of music sales in the past five years. Apple has been able to harness the naughty consumer excitement behind stealing music from the likes of Napster and Limewire, resulting in not just the sale of zillions of their sexy and convenient iPods to the masses, but also millions upon millions of legitimate DRM (digital rights managed) music files. The impact on the surface has been so powerful that users of both Mac and PCs use Apple’s system as an easy, powerful and convenient way to buy music. Apple’s success as both a hardware and software provider has been so impactful that music retailers, ranging from independent yet prominent stores like Aaron’s Records to content-minded chains like Tower Records, are now nothing but a bankrupt memory.

Those scenes along with many others will be restored in the Richard Donner cut of Superman II. Alas, all the phone calls, and petitions, and emails to Warner Bros. has paid off for the fans of this amazing adventure that some would say is better than the original.
