BuyMusic.com is Stealing
BuyMusic.com [not linked because I do not support their company] is ripping off artists and stealing music to sell to windows users. Not only are they blatently ripping off Apple's iTMS, but they are selling a horrible product - you don't buy the music like you do with Apple, you just buy a license to use the music in one computer. If that computer goes bust, or you upgrade, or a whole host of other unforseen issues, you lose that music that you paid for, and BuyMusic will not refund or allow you to download another copy. Welcome to the Brave New World where you are treated like a criminal right off the bat, and you own nothing. That, and you are forced into a never-ending upgrade regimen with Windows Media Player, so the Deamon from Redmond has you by the balls for the rest of your life. Fun, huh?Mathowie has the right idea for a redesign.
