So why is there ZERO software out there for an Ipod touch to PC transfer that is FREEWARE?

Why is it all shareware? What is going on in the world that you can't just transfer the music and junk from your ipod touch to your pc without paying? I have other mp3 players that don't have that limitation. That's why i never liked the ipod-itunes b.s. it's like fort knox, like your ipod is in jail. It's dumb!
