That Russian service is more illegal than Morrissey in a Speedo... I'm just waiting for the scam to get shut down by someone, 'cause not a penny from that service finds its way to an artist. It's playing fast and loose with a complete lack of copyright enforcement in Russia and artists' work. Get 'em while you can, I guess
The DRM for iTunes is about a billion times less restrictive than that others we've got over here... jaysus, Micro$haft wants you to pay to rent the tunes for a limited time, for feck's sake, and you're using their retched WMA format! It kills me, some of these "services" and their limitations.
The trick with iTunes, of course, is to simply burn a copy, and rerip it... done and done, though that does technically violate their agreement. However, unless your making pirate copies of albums and selling them, I can't see the harm in it.
Funny, I almost posted on here about that Pixies track, since it's been up for ages, but the Euro/UK iTunes store wasn't up yet, so I didn't bother.
Glad you folks can give it a whirl now... they did better than 600,000 tracks in the first week, so it's doing okay, I'd say.
Not for awhile any good?!
