Comments on: gotta sell it while you can… http://www.post-hipster.com/2007/05/29/gotta-sell-it-while-you-can/ A Shady Lane, everybody wants one Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:18:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: chip http://www.post-hipster.com/2007/05/29/gotta-sell-it-while-you-can/comment-page-1/#comment-10 chip Tue, 12 Jun 2007 02:44:39 +0000 http://www.post-hipster.com/?p=5#comment-10 This evening I've been looking into emusic.com, and it seems to be a pretty good compromise. Pros: files in mp3 (not crazy rhapsody-or-napster only files), no DRM, somewhat high quality of downloads. Cons: files in mp3 (no m4a support), since there's no DRM no major label will touch it, so only indie acts. But a lot of the labels I like are on emusic, and it seems like a good place to discover new artists, which, honestly, is something I've been lamenting for a long while. If I take the plunge, I'll post somthing here about my adventures... This evening I’ve been looking into emusic.com, and it seems to be a pretty good compromise.

I have to admit I totally agree with you. On some level, I think copyrights should expire once the original artist(s) die. On the other hand, it seems that America's main export is entertainment, so if we start sticking it to the man, we may be actually sticking it to ourselves when we realize that America suddenly has very little that it actually produces anymore and suddenly has a significant amount less income coming in because no one is paying the big companies and there is no more trickle-down. Sad but perhaps true. I've been thinking of joining Napster or Rhapsody. You don't have to download anything and you can listen to whatever you want whenever you want. It's kind of like cable TV. The only problem is that the idiots who run those companies don't make their product Mac-compatible. When are people going to realize that the supposed 10% or whatever Mac market is actually a much bigger percentage of the home market and thus the market that would subscribe to these services?
