I started out using yahoo's "launchcast", a $2/month music service that just played random music based on your preferences (but not whatever song you wanted on demand). Eventually I upgraded this to yahoo! unlimited, which was like $6/month plus $.79 per track purchased. I never actually purchased a track. Anyway I was happy enough with the service except the yahoo! unlimited software itself was awful.
I was able to seamlessly transfer over to Rhapsody the other day and it appears that I'll get the lower yahoo! price for another year after my current term expires.
Anyways, DRM is lame but it is a sad necessity to try to put an end to rampant piracy by typical echo boomers who have been raised to have no morals or respect for copyrights.
isn't 'clueless' the default state of the US consumer with regard to anything whatsoever? why would they be expected to know anything about online tracking?
