Never thought I would say this



Bill Gates said it best when it comes to dealing with music encoded with restrictive DRM schemes.

More and more I've been finding myself buying songs off of iTunes, mainly just to be legit, or after I get sick of spending lots of my time scouring soulseek for a decent version "Last Christmas" by Wham. A lot of people complain that buying songs from such services is limited, since you are restricted from copying those files and sharing them with other people. I never really got what the big deal was, since you aren't being stopped from burning your music purchased with iTunes to a CD and listening to it wherever and giving out copies to whomever you want to...I figure if I buy an album from iTunes and burn a CD of it for at least one other person besides myself, I'm still beating "the man".

i have a subscription to emusic.com. they don't have everything, but they have lots. they have the frenchmen!

emusic doesn't limit the number of times you can burn a song, like itunes does.
