so, by all appearances, this is a pyramid type scheme. I don't think its illegal to participate in (after all, who really knows the technical definitions to these things), but if you don't get your ipod, you might be able to sue/call the FBI to get your retribution.

On another note, I have one of those voice recorders for the iPod that Apple wouldn't let me return when I decided not to get an iPod. It's unopened and worth $50 bucks. I'm trying to get rid of it for $30. PM if you're interested in it to go with your free ipod
