I'll be joining the boycott.
Fuck beta.
Also, Bandcamp, Magnatune.
Although I have had some annoyances with having to create temporary email addresses (I am *not* joining Paypal, ugh!) for payment using Bandcamp.
Another point worth making is that the record companies actually use (some of) the concepts to do with physical media (i.e. breakage) when applied to online distribution.
Am I being overly cynical to note that they will only IF the monetary advantage goes to the record company as opposed to the artists?
