Spotify - liberation or DRM-hell?

Spotify, seen by many as the music service Napster should’ve been and thus would have saved us from the last 10 years of evil piracy, has a darker side to it as well. To understand, let’s do some history: First, one of the suggestions from the media industry on how to "solve the piracy problem" (that still hasn’t been shown to exist, worth noting) has been to create a "broadband tax".

iTunes fraud - six months and counting

Here is the text, broken up into paragraphs: Six months ago, to this day exactly, I bought an album on iTunes. On my first listening through I noticed some of the songs sounded "cut off", and went to investigate. Using song length data from other sites I concluded that two of the songs were several minutes short on the iTunes store. The album is Progressive Trance - by Indoor, still available here as of this writing.
