dark_lotus writes "Spymac.com today is reporting that an e-mail sent to prior customers of BuyMusic.com, informing them that BuyMusic.com is being merged into the parent site, Buy.com. Spymac reports: BuyMusic.com initially expected to sell one million songs per day or 200 to 300 in the first year according to estimates by founder and CEO Scott Blum. When re-interviewed in December, Blum offered no statistics, but did say, 'We're nowhere near Apple's numbers.'"

    " Hmm... a shady Russian website that probably doesn't give shit to artists. How can I resist?"

    The same way I resist iTunes... itunes sends 3% to the artist. The rest goes to the label.

    If I download the album off the internet and send the artist a buck, everybody is better off, with the exception of the record companies.

    I can live with myself.
