You would be right if the contract actually worked both ways. If you have problem with your service, or a billing dispute, or any of a number of other problems, their answer is likely to be "Too bad."

The customer is left with two choices - a very costly and unlikely to succeed lawsuit, or to walk. Taking your business elsewhere is sometimes the only effective protest against a corporate bully.

The real question is: Did you ever use anything that came before Napster? Ratio-ed FTP, crappy personal websites with the filenames obfuscated, Scour Media agent...napster is only crap by todays standards. It was like night and day in terms of usability and selection. Which is why it got attacked. It made the process too easy, esp for novices.

Holy crap people, you'd think I insulted your wives.

My point was not flamebait it was actually quite reasonable. I will state it again: Both have their place. Both excel at things and both have drawbacks.

The PC is not the gaming utopia you make it sound. I played PC games almost exclusively for many years. I still keep a game capable rig if there's a need. The xbox and 360 have met my gaming needs for the most part recently. When Starcraft II and Diablo 3 come out that will be a different story.
