Submission + - Legally purchased digital music confiscated from Florida inmates (tampabay.com)
An anonymous reader writes: For several years, inmates in Florida state prisons have been allowed to purchase digital downloads at the inflated price of $1.70 for several years, and spent more than $10,000,000 on them. Now the state is confiscating the only devices that they can actually play them on. The state signed a contract with a new vendor with the stipulation that the old devices be confiscated. "...the download of content purchased from one vendor to another vendor’s device would negate the new vendor’s ability to be compensated for their services."
