Real Launches Music Download Service

fupeg writes "Spurred on by Apple's success, as well as their own purchase of listen.com, Real Networks announced their own online music service, dubbed RealOne Rhapsody. Here is the press release. They're offering songs at $0.79 per song, but with a $9.99/month subscription. The first two months are free. The press release says that 2/3 of their 300,000 song catalog is available for CD burning, while everything is available for 'on-demand' listening."

    Because it is owned by a Jew. I am not supporting anyone who mutilates newborn males. If they sign a statement disavowing the practice I would change my mind, but until then no cash from me.

    And that goes for any Christian, Muslim or Gentile that has their son circumcised..I will not support ANYONE who I find has done this to an innocent child. I'm putting my money where the facts are, and until human rights of childern are supported, I WILL NOT SUPPORT YOU.

    I encourage you to support business who expressly disavow male and female circumcision because male circumcision is the equal to cutting of the clitoral hood of a girl. Do the research and you will see I'm right. So, boycott Real Networks until they release a statement that says they support making routine and ritual male circumcision ILEGAL for people under 18 years old.

    BTW this is NOT anti-semetism, just replace the bris with a ceremony that does NOT include cutting off a precious part of an innocent child. I'm sad that my parents had a bris for me, and my brothers and I WILL SPEAK OUT.

    The annoyance of those popups to "Upgrade to Quicktime Pro!" is enough to lump Quicktime for Windows into the shitty category no matter how good the player is. Let's hope they don't put in the same popup to "Upgrade to iTunes Pro!".
