DRM - Services vs. Purchases (Score 1)

I tend to get in a lot of arguments over DRM. Simply because I am against DRM, yet I subscribe to Urge. However, my concept is pretty simple; If I buy music, I do not want to be restricted in how I can use it. If I subscribe to a service, I expect that there will be restrictions in use. In growing up I have come to see that downloading music is indeed stealing, regardless of how corrupt the music industry is. By subscribing to a service like Urge, I have been able to weed out more crap music and more effectively spend my music dollars. My whole argument boils down to purchase vs. service. All that being said, I first got really excited when I read this article. I thought of listening to all of those new albums that I've been listening to on my Creative player on my much preferred iPod. I even went as far as downloading the program. But after it sat with me for a few moments, I thought that this was no better downloading tracks off of a torrent. Simply because I did not pay for the tracks, but for the service. Had i purchased those tracks, I would have full control of them. I will only purchase music in a physical form. Atleast those are my thoughts on the subject. ~InsaneShow
