Bah, I just think it's a waste of federal court money, when they can't prove any damages. I also think it would be fun to use the uname: "RIAAsucksmonkeyass". That'd be great for them to go after. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

I think what they're trying to do is not to sue everybody, but to scare people into not downloading music anymore.

I know that. But do you really think that'll work. People will just find new ways to do it. _________________ "I'm just very selective about the reality I choose to accept." - Calvin

I would like to try Buy Music.com. Apparently it's around $.79 per song, but they say "from $.79 per song, so I don't know. I have yet to look around, but they seem decent enough.
Also, I have a question. Do you have to own a Mac to use Apple's music store?

Unfortunately, for the time being, YES.
Windows support is planned before the end of the year.

Your link to USA today sends me to a subscribe page, but I suppose I'll steer clear of that site.Thanks for the heads up. I'll see which I like more, the Apple music store or Napster 2.0...

It will come a time where all three are acceptable. Napster vs. iTunes sounds cool, though. _________________ Sometimes I miss my sanity- Wedge Antilles

The thing said that Napster 2.0 will have something like 200,000 songs at launch, and I don't know how many Apple has. Not that I want that many songs, it's just that they'll have a better chance at having what I want.

Apparently, you saw the pop-up ad instead of the story. Here's the text of the story itself:

BuyMusic's downloads strike a sour note
By Jefferson Graham USA TODAY
Last week Buy.com tried to take a bite out of Apple's successful iTunes Music Store by rolling out a low-priced song-download service said to be simple and reliable.
But in an example of the technological trickiness involved in offering users the freedom they desire while giving music labels the protections they demand, early customers have found they can't transfer the tunes they buy on BuyMusic.com to digital portables.
The Mac-only iTunes has won raves for ease of use, both in burning CDs and transferring songs to Apple's iPod players. But BuyMusic's tracks have started out as unplayable, even on portables lent to the press in a promotional blitz.
"We're working on this," says Buy.com's Scott Blum, who says the company will have the glitch fixed today and that customers who have bought tracks will receive an e-mail offering free re-downloads.
The problem: Unlike MP3 music tracks plucked from the Net from pirate sites such as Kazaa, music on BuyMusic is encoded in Microsoft's Windows Media Audio format. The "digital rights management" coding limits what can be done with the files. The files will be recoded to allow for transfers, Blum says.
It's an early embarrassment for BuyMusic, which rushed to be first to offer song sales without subscription fees to users of Windows PCs. The Net retailer made a splash with a 160-foot-high Times Square billboard featuring a near-naked Tommy Lee. It sells MP3 players by Creative Labs and others.
"It's unfortunate they had this glitch," says Creative's Craig McHugh, adding that many customers have been calling seeking help. "We've been really excited about BuyMusic and its potential."
BuyMusic.com's tech support staff was of little help when contacted Thursday. An e-mail response read: "We are unable to provide technical assistance after you have downloaded the music ... to your primary computer. In addition, we are unable to credit you back for failed or damaged copies once you have successfully downloaded the music."
Apple has sold 6.5 million songs since April; BuyMusic won't release figures, but "it's not millions," Blum says
The reincarnate Napster's debut should be worth watching.

There's no subscription fee for the iTunes Music Store. It's pay-as-you-go. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis
