wallabywatson writes "EMusic.com have announced that they are cancelling their $9.99 a month unlimited download service after being acquired by Dimensional Associates LLC. Instead, subscribers will be limited to 40 downloads (ie 3ish albums) per month. A new premium $50 a month service will allow 300 tracks (~25 albums). The service details have been released as have new terms and conditions. If, like me, you think this sucks and want to cancel your subscription go here before November 8, 2003."

Stop whining by betelgeuse68 · 2003-10-09 03:45 · Score: 0, Flamebait

$50 for 300 songs is not a bad deal. Why don't you go buy 300 songs on roughly 30 CDs sold at music stores and look at your tab.

Jeez Louise.

This is the same sort of whining when various WEB content that had been previously free suddenly required an account post the dot com bubble.

Deal with it. Things cost money to produce, WEB content, music, yada, yada, yada.

Quit your b*tchin'.
