Goodbye Emusic, and Thanks for All the MP3s - Emusic Gets Acquired, Out Go the Old Rules, Out Go the Subscribers, Too

[Archived in Entry, Mp3 Downloads]

  „I was originally turned on to the service due to a free trial I got with the purchase of a CD burner. I stayed on because Emusic was the most rational of the music download services -- (mostly) unlimited mp3 downloads for a monthly fee, with no DRM and the right to burn all the CDs you want (for your personal use).“

  „I now know when my favorite bands are touring, when their next album will be released and probably have even heard the MP3s before that day ever arrives. In some cases actual band members participate in message boards with their fans � this certainly breaks down the barrier of those who use to wait outside a venue in the slim hopes of meeting someone in "the band".“

  „Then it started squealing like a fire alarm (being the rational and mature woman that I am, I automatically assumed it was about to explode and ran away). Luckily, it’s under warranty for another month. No worries, according to the Gateway guy.“

Ben Weasel Speaks for Me

  „Many of the evangelists for the free content revolution, and a fair few of the less strident advocates, often mention that (a) some tech-savvy musicians have been able to use the digital-swap culture to their advantage, recognizing that unauthorized copying is going to occur anyway, and employing it as a marketing tool for other commercial products; and (b) that the music fans who download a lot of mp3s end up buying more CDs than those who don't; hence (c) Free Music is a net plus for independent musicians, at the expense of no one but the evil record companies. (d) Everybody wins!“
