Deny it, then only replace it if legally bound too. US customers get a replacement iPod battery, UK customers can fuck off and buy a competitors product. (Good thing the 60gb Creative Zen Vision M is better than the equivalent Apple product).

You can only take the piss out of your paying customers once.

There are so many things wrong with you that I hardly know where to begin:

1. You store data on your hard drive, not in your battery.

2. You think that an explosion will destroy the contents of your hard drive.

3. You think that the batteries actually explode. They don't they burn.

4. You think a fire will destroy the contents of your hard drive.

5. You're concerned about "the Feds" but you're posting with your username.

6. You think "the Feds" will knock.

7. You think "the Feds" give a shit about what you're doing.
