I'm assuming you all object as strongly when any program developer stops supporting their older programs?
Important things to take note of in the article: 1.) The songs will continue to work on the computer they are on now, you just will be unable to burn them or move them to a different machine after the deadline they have warned you about. 2.) This whole thing is coming about specifically because they have stopped selling music with any DRM protection since last February, and are phasing out the ill-advised technology. |

You're right that being able to continue playing the music is nice, and that not selling DRM anymore is a positive development. It still doesn't make me eager to buy music that's DRM-enhanced. |

You'll by God buy what we tell you to buy, when we tell you to buy it, at what price we demand, and you'll by god buy it again when we tell you to.
That's the American way, you know...making you pay for the same repackaged crap over and over again. Otherwise, someone would have to have an original idea, and then no one would make any money.

I refuse to believe that music you have on your computer can't be "lifted" off that computer in some way... unless it really isn't there. What kind of half-assed hackers are ya anywho?
