The industry benefit from the subscription model is that you only have the music while you keep paying. Didn't download anything new this month? Still $9.99. Miss a monthly payment? All music downloaded under the subscription goes "POOF!" No more music, even if you resume payment, old files are gone till downloaded again. And, you can't burn these files to CD, so no messy hardcopies to worry about. Since most people will slow down or stop downloading once the novelty wears off, but forget to cancel the sub, the record companies make their money with less and less product consumed as time goes by. In the long run, they make a lot more this way.
Capitalization and punctuation instead of line breaks would make your post readable. You may have had a point, but I could not be bothered to read past the fourth line.
Honestly, who really finds this to be an onerous restriction? I can't think of any need to burn the exact same playlist more than twice, and if I did, I could always just dupe the disc in Toast.
The levy did apply to hard drive based and flash based MP3 players for a brief time, but Apple lobbied to have it dropped, as they then had no legitimate reason to charge this for some storage devices, and not memory cards and hard drives for pcs. The only sensible legal decision in Canada in years.
You have to remember, this is Slashdot, where people bitch because Windows software doesn't run right on Linux. Common sense is at a premium around here.
Rev. B SEGA CD units came with Sewer Shark, CDX came with the aforementioned sampler (Colunms, Super Monaco GP, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage), Sonic CD and the CD version of Ecco the Dolphin.
Some corrections:
Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro - Released in North America by Manga as The Catlse of Cagliostro
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind - Released on DVD by Disney in North America
Pom Poko - Released by Disney in North America, but not actually a Miyazaki film.
The Cat Returns - Released by Disney in North america.
My 5-year-old daughter loves that movie and understands it completely. The first time we watched it, she cried at the end because "it's just so beautiful." I guess it really depends on the kid in question. Her second-favorite is the subtitled Totoro, even thought she can't read the subtitles very well yet.

I know how you feel. I have had to resort to snorting RC Cola off a slut's chest. Damn this economy!

It looks more like a scrotum. What the GP is saying is that he wants to be teabagged by Will Wright.
Gee, sucks that they rejected your Linux commercial from their article on Microsoft. Fascist pigs!!
Some Linux zealot tells why sodomy is better than buggery! Screw that, buy a Mac!
Wow, where fo you buy your hallucinogens? Or are they homemade? It looks like you have a good thing either way!
If you are 21 or over, you can get legally ripped pretty much anywhere!
A program that wiped Linkin Park recordings off the face of the earth would be a great piece of software, indeed.
Trojan HOURS!?!?!?! Wow, she must be grinning from ear to ear!!!
HE sure would. That sort of pseudo-intellectual bullshit drives me to drink!
If you're the one getting his ass pounded, why would HE care?

That doesn't stop Shigeru Miyamoto or John Romero, why let it stop you?
The Shuffle is not random-only. It has sequential play, which has been a known fact since it's release. Nice troll attempt, but you blew it there.

Have you considered knowing what is being spoken about before making an ass of yourself lately?
Lots of people, but they're just trolling!
I have had a translated rom of the Famicom/NES Final Fantasy 3 for 5 years, so it is available for emulation, and has been for a while.
cel-shading would most definately NOT fit Amano's art style. It has an ethereal quality to it that the solid outlines would kill.
Pay to Beta? Isn't that what all PC games are for the first 6 months?
