I would never purchase songs, or other media with DRM tied to it.

PirateBay & Morpheus, FTW!!!

Well I am not recommending them but this is one reason that digital downloads are so big on bittorrent. You pay for a song legally and then the service shuts down and then your music is not playable.

DRM is stupid! I got a few songs from Wal Mart and had trouble playing on another computer. Yea, I burned them to CD but why make it such a hassle for something I PAID for!

I don’t download music from anywhere anymore.

DRM = digital rights management

"Yahoo! Music Unlimited Store are protected by a digital rights management system that requires a valid license key before they can be played on your computer."

Spotty file quality at best on both services. Some are good, some are not. Usually the latter.

After several months of observation, I've come to the conclusion that one's taste in music is reverse-proportional to the amount of music they buy via iTunes, etc. Everyone I know who buys music is into crap like John Mayer.
