Best Buy Releases Their Own Music Cloud

thewebblogger writes "In a move that more resembles 'me too' behavior rather than a well planned release, Best Buy has announced their own music cloud service, called simply Best Buy Music Cloud. The functionality is not complete yet; iOS / Android applications are not available at this point, and the only part that works is the Web Player. The premium version will cost $3.99/month and you'll have to upload your own music. iTunes is mandatory."

    That's a truly brilliant plan. Only the people who contribute can vote, and, ideally, let's make the people whose votes we don't like unable to contribute. Or perhaps let's simply define `contributing' in such a way that they can't be doing so. Then... Hey, then we get to the pre-Civil Rights Act, pre-women's sufferage country we all knew and loved!

    As a bonus, since they can't vote, they can't really change things so they *can* contribute! Perfect!

    Oh wait, no, there's a reason we don't do shit like that. With the exception of ex-convicts, with whom we SHOULDN'T do shit like that.

    No one on welfare should ever be allowed to vote. No one collecting Social Security for any reason should ever be allowed to vote. Voting should be reserved for those who contribute.

    So you're saying most Tea Partiers shouldn't be allowed to vote?
