Thanks A_F

The tracks I was looking for are:

Don’t Miss The Party Line by Bizz Nizz
Just An Illusion By Imagination
Back Up Off Me by Dr Dre

and one or two others I can’t remember now. I’ll check out those torrents – thanks again.

Of course, I’m sure that by downloading these long unavailable songs, I’m “devastating” the music industry. (sarcastic)

btw, I had a quick look at Napster the other day and it’s still the same corporate shit as ever, even with the DRM free option. Despite their “6 million” songs, they still don’t have the few oldies from the 80s & 90s I keep searching for. Pathetic.

Oh and notice how their DRM free service is called “Napster light”? “Napster” or “Napster to go” are the DRM infected scams they offer. Makes it seem like DRM free is the inferior option doesn’t it?

Now, we all know that Napser is run by the RIAA, so this kind of marketing really shows that they are selling DRM free with one arm twisted strongly behind their backs, doesn’t it?

I still won’t be touching Napster, that’s for sure.

“Welcome back, DRM!” Thanks!!

I can’t believe this story I just read – it sounds like a spoof. This is the self same business model that the RIAA scumbags have just been forced to abandon. Do Microsoft want to go out of business?

It really is DRM “koolaid” isn’t it?

I now await with baited breath for the DRM to be removed from video content in all its forms… (sarcastic)

It always seems that when a big company is in trouble, they panic into locking up their content to try and extort more money from their customers, sorry Marks. Instead, they should embrace the business models which use free content as part of the model, constantly referred to over at http://www.techdirt.com

Finally, I can’t remember who was the 5th member of the Big 5 you referred to at the start. Please remind me.

Yes, the content providers demand it.

But they can demand it if and only if there are enough SUCKERS who will buy that “korporate formulaic product” covered with layers of C.R.A.P.

Microsoft isn’t the main reason DRM is being used.
The content providers demand it.
Look at Apple, it took them a long time to kill the DRM issue in their music store (note that movies are not drm free).
In good time the same will come from Microsoft, also MSN UK is managed by a different Microsoft group like Microsoft Canada is, they are able to make different business relationships to suit the needs of the demographic they serve.
That being said DRM is stupid but don’t blame MS on this, they may have developed technology for DRM but they did so to keep the RIAA off their back. Kinda like how we try to keep the RIAA out of our Bedrooms..

The problem is not Microsoft launching DRM but SUCKERS who will actually buy that “korporate formulaic product” covered with layers of C.R.A.P.

If these suckers did not exist, why would anyone launch such a thing?
