    They just don't care. That's the truth of it. They don't care if they get it right, because it doesn't matter -- they still get paid, and even with the trolls visiting and posting crap, they still get their ad revenue and free content.

    If you really want things to improve here, stop posting, block all of the ads, and e-mail the sponsors of the site. Tell them that you're boycotting any products advertised on the site unless he shapes up. That'll be sure to get someone's attention, though probably not Malda's; as I said, he doesn't care.

  7. Disappointing by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    If this turns out ot be true, I will be very disappointed in Google.

    I don't know why, but I have higher expectaions of Google, and for them to support a format of DRM that only works on Apple hardware is ridiculous. Granted the iPod/iTMS is the most popular player/download service, it's also VERY limiting being restricted to the iPod. Don't get me wrong, it's a great service, but only if you use their platform.

    I guess maybe I was hoping that it would be Google who finally made the perfect music download service on their own. One where you can actually get a lossless copy of the media perhaps (flac?).

    You do it. Oh, you don't have any mod points? Then I guess you don't get to decide how posts are moderated.
