Every time you download it stops Britney Spears from getting a Gulfstream IV or that Soulja Boy idiot getting himself a nice big hummer with 36" spinner rims of death

You see everytime you download you....ugh you know what? I cant even fake the BS

Its your music, you should be entitled to a fucking refund if they want to pull the DRM servers down based upon an expectation of continued service :/ The problem is, they will pull the plug on these DRM servers eventually and then you'll be completely $^%$%ed

Not to mention I'd bet the large number of WalMart customers probubly didnt even understand that first email, at all

I suppose for someone who hates DRM its ironic I also have a pretty large collection of purchased music from the ITMS, I guess because I trust Apple more than Microsoft in these matters, and so far, the ITMS [love it or hate it] is the most successful online music store, partially because its DRM isnt that bad really, especially compared to the Microsoft and PlaysForSure crap [From what I heard at least]

Plus, I've always felt WMA/WMV was fairly poor quality....maybe its just the few things I ever had in it though..]]>Oct 10th 2008 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/walmart-has-a-change-of-heart-decides-to-maintain-drm-servers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/walmart-has-a-change-of-heart-decides-to-maintain-drm-servers/
1. nobody likes drm.
2. nobody wants drm.
3. 99.99999% of wal mart customers do not know what drm is

i wish someone would take them to task for that statement because it's obvious bullshit. an executive probably signed off on taking down the drm servers without looking at the document, and then reversed it when he googled 'drm' a couple days later.]]>Oct 10th 2008 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/walmart-has-a-change-of-heart-decides-to-maintain-drm-servers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/walmart-has-a-change-of-heart-decides-to-maintain-drm-servers/Oct 10th 2008 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/walmart-has-a-change-of-heart-decides-to-maintain-drm-servers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/10/walmart-has-a-change-of-heart-decides-to-maintain-drm-servers/
