Are we surprised by this? If I was Rob I wouldn't turn down any revenue within reason. (Beyond reason would be plastering a giant WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO TODAY banner on the page, and changing everything to MS colors;))
There should probably be a reminder here to keep an open mind. I mean if Microsoft came out with a good product that was meant to actually WORK and work well, I would support it... I'm not holding my breath though.
...and ripped samples, and recorded.IT tracks on to tapes for friends, and other related atrocities, so I will galdly give them my money asking nothing more in return. I spent $25 on ONE store purchased compact disc last week (FSOL) and to not contribute to an organization like this, that gives it's product out mostly for free, would be the worst kind of hypocracy, considering how much I hate the mainstream music industry and commercialism in general.
Of course, that's me. If Kosmic goes back up, and you've never heard of them, go check them out because I think you'll like it, even if electronica etc isn't your bag;)
I have downloaded a WHOLE LOTTA music from Kosmic, and they are a real quality organization. Go there now, click all the ad banner links... Personally, I'm going to A) donate, and B) try to round up some more sponsors for this place, because it really kicks butt.
