Good to know that the major labels aren't the only game in town if you're a musician looking for a reactionary, tone-deaf, spiteful ostrich of a company to release your music.

I like how they display their warnings so prominently about "legally acquired music only", yet their service isn't compatible with the DRM schemes that a fair amount of my legally acquired music is still saddled with. Hindsight is 20/20.

Maybe I don't know how these studies work, but it seems a little ridiculous in the Twitter age to be publishing data from a survey of 172 students 6 years after it was collected. I could perform a more rigorous study of my peer group this afternoon.

I am a bedroom musician. I write and record my own music. If I upload my music to Amazon's digital locker and stream it to myself, and Amazon is required to pay a blanket license fee to record labels to provide this service, then why should I not sue the record labels for the licensing fees they...

Do you understand the difference between the "release" of an operating system and the release of its source code?

Does anybody know if they pro-rate your tethering plan if you activate it, use it for a few days, then switch back to the regular 2GB plan?

Big deal, the iOS 4.3 update broke my Exchange webmail. Now no Javascript buttons work, so no sending, saving, moving to folders, etc. Is anyone else seeing this?

My children will grow up in a Zune-less world. What a pity.

Would using a browser with a Private Mode have counted as destroying evidence?

Win for great justice!

Appalling. Microsoft should drop this outfit like they're hot, along with the rest of their customers. Sweatshop labor needs to become bad for business and it starts with us, the end user.

I'm pretty sure this news will be the highlight of my week. Oh, I'm getting married this weekend. ...my statement stands.

This is totally a plot to get Daily Show & Colbert fans to subscribe to Hulu when they roll out their subscription option. And judging by the emotional state I find myself in after hearing this news, it will work.

English majors lose, engineers win. Nothing new there.

Wow. Just wow. "We're not making enough money, so we're going to eliminate some revenue streams and legal avenues for paying customer to get our product." Let me know how that goes for you, Edgar Bronfman Jr.

Anecdotally, I'm loath to pay 30 cents more for a track that yesterday was cheaper. First I go to the iTunes store, then if it's $1.29 I check Amazon, then I try googling the mp3. Eventually I give up. It's strange, but in a world where you can buy a half hour television show for 2 dollars...

To compare the piracy of music files pre-DRM to post-DRM, you have to compare hard numbers, not percentages of the total. To compare percentages is mathematically meaningless.
