I agree, record labels will never allow it. On the other hand, there are services that already have deals with them, and they're better too. Zune Pass offers unlimited music streaming for just $14.99 a month. A nice deal, huh?
I think there are better and nicer music services already.. Like Spotify. They also offer unlimited music for a monthly pass, so why not just get Zune Pass? It's awesome service and works with PC, Xbox 360, Windows Phone 7 and Zune HD.
They are still being quite reasonable about it. They just sent a cease & desist letter, while they could have outright sued them or send some killing robots to take care of the programmers.
I don't think they really care about workarounds. Most casual users wont bother with those but will buy a subscription if they feel like it's worth it. I wouldn't pay for NYT, but I sure could pay for a newspaper or a writer who I think is writing interestingly, informatively or studies the case. This is especially true on things like business and computer stuff, not so much everyday news.
I dont know why people support Sony. Countless of times they're showed their true colors. The stuff they do to paying customers is absolutely stunning. Both Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360 do have DRM, but they don't do shit like this. Microsoft only bans the modded user from multiplayer, and rightfully so because he could cheat against other players. Sony is going way over the line.

If you want to play the same games, just get a XBOX 360 and drop PS3. They have the same games anyway, and 360 is a better console, especially with Kinect.

If your phone doesn't support it, there are lots of phones available that do. Take a look here - especially the HTC phones look great!
