I can't buy 'em 4 now cuz i don't have a CC & none of the friends i asked want 2 use their one on the Internet (most french people think it's dangerous, even thought it ain't), so my only option 2 get'em is P2P, but even if i had a CC & bought 'em (which i'd do), i'd definitly share 'em just 2 prove npgmc that wmp is plain useless SHIT that complicates ur life 4 nothing (4 xemple, what if u have problems with ur CD burner or don't have any: u have 2 download the trax on a friend's computer, etc...).

What do y'all think ?

I damn sure felt like sharing them in protest Monday when I bought the downloads and they wouldn't burn- WMP just crashed every time I tried. If I could've found a conversion utility that worked on the freakin' things, I would have been up in every file sharing service I could sign into at once with those bitches. I got my free copy that night so I'm over it now, but that's $7.77 I'll never get back. What a cheat.

Is it me or is it counterintuitive to sell tracks on the web with all these stupid license restrictions while you're simultaneously giving the disc away by the truckload at shows?

It is stupid to sell license restricted tracks when in reality it doesn't actually offer any protection of the music and only causes problems for some users. I could easily have had the files on a p2p network within an hour of downloading the tracks. I won't, but it is technically very easy to do.

I think that the examples you give about wmp being useless would apply to any downloadable format. If you have problems with, or don't have a cd burner, then wouldn't MP3 would be just as bad. The WMA issues are different, they are just restrictive for restrictives sake and no other reason.

anyway DRM sucks ! http://www.microsoft.com/...a/drm.aspx
just any1 transform it into mp3 and that's it !
free 4 all at p2p
vicitms r just the stupid guys who download it - like me.....
