Microsoft and MTV to Launch Music Service

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the continued-reactionary-behavior dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to ZDNet Microsoft and MTV have joined forces to form Urge, a new online music service. From the article: 'The company said Urge would include a subscription component, as well as allowing individual song sales. A spokesman declined to discuss pricing, saying full details would be announced next month. The company gave no specifics on launch date beyond saying it would be sometime in 2006.'"

    Point stands: if you're swallowing your principles already, who cares if you're dealing with MS or the Mafia?

    Wowa there! I think it is time to reset our moral compass.

    I don't like my best friend's girl friend because she is a dumb ditz. I also don't like Hitler because he conducted mass genocide and plunged the world into war. Hitler deserved to die. My friend's girlfriend, as irritating as her mindless prattle can be, doesn't deserve to die. See, we can have varied levels of dislike.

    My dislike of MTV and Microsoft is pretty mild compared to say the Russian mafia, because you, you know, the Russian mafia kills and enslaves people. Microsoft on the other hand makes shitty software while MTV peddles mindless crap to the lowest common denominator.

    My principles against MTV and Microsoft is that I don't like their products. My principles against the Russian Mafia is that they kill people. If you can't see how perhaps those two things are not equal...
