******* Jukebox?

Ran across this as part of a copyright law assignment (hint of irony I s'pose)

Interesting. I think that this is a better business model than somehow trying to prevent free illegal downloads of songs. Pandora has released the genie from her box (erm... you know what I mean) and you can't hope to "hold back the wind" so to speak by trying to control everything with DRM. The way it is is that people expect stuff to be free on the web - well I do. So yes I think this is a smart manouvre from MySpud.

True. If they can compete with Apple, they'll be making more coin off the ads.
