DRMed music buyers get screwed yet again
Ars Technica has an article about the latest screwing that buyers of DRMed music are getting:

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...-drm-keys.html

The article begins:
Quote:
Customers who have purchased music from Microsoft's now-defunct MSN Music store are now facing a decision they never anticipated making: commit to which computers (and OS) they want to authorize forever, or give up access to the music they paid for. Why? Because Microsoft has decided that it's done supporting the service and will be turning off the MSN Music license servers by the end of this summer.
Another example of take the money and run -- and yet more justification for not buying DRMed e-books.
