This is pretty great news for Apple. I like the promotion they are doing too for this. Now do more browsing of the store and see what else to download.

Europeans don't have a free download. The German page also says no purchase necessary. How else then to participate remains a mystery.

July 14th, 13:20. I'll be buying a song then.

Free downloads are ineligible. You have to use the "Tell a Friend" service to get a free entry. If you send the tell-a-friend e-mail after the 95,099,999 song is purchased, you should win an iPod according to the rules. Methinks all winners will be song purchasers.
