EMusic Acquired, Halting Unlimited Downloads

Posted by michael on from the pray-i-do-not-alter-it-any-further dept.

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."

    Shut up already. Why do I have to keep reading posts that say "mod this" and "mod that." Let the moderators do their work in the background, they don't need direction, it just adds to the noise.

      Let them do "their work"? Is this a supposed to be a joke? The joke is on you.
