Rent Music Over the Net
NerveGas writes: "Financial Times is reporting that two competing services, both backed by major music labels, are about to offer legal music downloads. For $9.95 per month, you can download up to 100 songs per month. The catch? Cancel your service, and you lose the ability to hear *any* of the songs that you've downloaded. There are other caveats, as well - but at least it's a start." So what happens after you've got your hard drive filled with rented music and the monthly fee goes up to $199.95/month? Pay up, or lose it all...
Personally I would pay ten dollars a month just to see to it that Britney Spears, and her clones all disappeared along with the "boy bands" and any other "musicians" that are put together by producers into a money making machine rather than coming together to make music for its own sake.
That is the kind of garbage that dominates top 40. I for one want nothing to do with it.
