Note: More douchery from the music business. I'm not going to go to the store to buy the album then download it. This latest Spears masterpiece is aptly titled for her current current path.

(although that may be stealing according to the RIAA) That list of music offends me - Britany and Avril - like OMFG!!!!! These will fail - people are smart enough to know a gimmick when they see one and somehow I don't think many tech friendly folks will trust Sony after the rootkit diaster - who knows what comes attached to these MP3s. Buy real CD's for god's sake! These are just dumb – how hard is it to buy a real CD and rip it into MP3’s?

And usually for less than 13 bucks. At least this way I can round out my Manilow collection...
