blind users forced to pirate

As a totally blind user of computers, with 0 sight whatsoever, relying on screen reading programs to allow me to do things on a computer, I notice a big problem with the major download services such as Itunes or Napster. The special software you need just to download and purchase tracks is not blind user friendly. That is, it hardly works or in many cases doesn't work at all with screen reading technology! Isn't it interesting though that many p2p apps and torrent clients work well for blind users. Not to mention I have 2 computers here, and want to play content I have on any of them. So unless the **AA's offer an accessible way to download content which I can play anywhere I choose, (I did purchase it after all), then I'll be forced to continue to get my desired content by means I'm able to use, which at this point is considered pirating, very sad if you ask me!
