Music Download Services Suck

itunes is overpriced and/or DRM riddled. Fuck that.

True Story:

I wanna hear M.I.A's "Paper Planes" and I find a link on Amazon where I can buy the song for 99 cents as an MP3, and the whole album for $7. I'm gonna get the whole album.

Or would, but i'm at work and don't have admin privileges, so i can't install the Amazon Downloader App.

Lo and Behold, some nice fellow uploaded the song to a file storage site.

I really was going to pay, and I do think Amazon should be supported both for good prices and DRM free music. But in this case, I had to break the law to bust some jamz.
