That's a good deal considering Napster and such charges $10-15/month for DRMed medium quality selected songs (all you can download). Now adding to everyone's bill is a bad idea.

I couldn't find another source in this posting that didn't go back to TechCrunch, so I'm not sure where the story came from, but it sounds like BS. Kinda' like that e-mail that goes around saying that the post office is going to start charging for e-mails because theyre losing money. What?

The RIAA has got to be the most inane, out-of-touch bunch of old geezers I have ever had the displeasure to have passing knowledge of. What a bunch of cooks! These are organized crime tactics.
