eBay Running Trial for Downloadable Music

supersandra writes "Looks like eBay has been inspired by all those millions of iTunes song sales. They're running a six-month test offering downloadable music through authorized sellers, who would have to 'ensure copyright protection for the content and meet service-level agreements.' Also of note, 'music buyers won't be allowed to resell the files on eBay.'"

    Ah yes, the mp3 formula of collecting money for you, that they won't send out. And occasionally changing the amount owed without explanation.

    Then when enough people bitch about it, start charging money for an email response. Say, the emails I have where they wanted more of my money to answer why they haven't paid me yet. I didn't pay the money so I never got an answer. But I sure am glad I helped mp3 make money.

    You can figure out who is and isn't owned by an RIAA member using the RIAA Radar

    Why can't I moderate something "Wrong" or at least "Grossly Misinformed"?
