arstechnica.com -  The iTunes Store has been around for a while now and is clearly popular enough to have sold more than 5 billion songs. There are still a few big artists that don't have much of a presence on the Store, though. Radiohead recently added a substantial amount of content, but tracks from The Beatles and AC/DC are nowhere to be found. You can add Kid Rock to that list now, too. In a recent interview with the BBC, Rock pointed to the iTunes Store as a distribution system that is unfair for artists, and suggested that his fans steal his music instead.

At the moment, the only Kid Rock album available on iTunes is a 1990 album that he doesn't own the rights to. The reason for his boycott of the iTunes Store is the way royalties are distributed: Rock believes that iTunes is representative of the "old system" where distributors and record labels take the money instead of giving it artists. Rock acknowledges that his absence from iTunes has reduced his album sales by 10 to 20 percent, but apparently doesn't care; the album has sold over a million copies without being sold there.
