| Re: Well deyamn... I hope you replied and told them to "go to hell." If I was paying $10 a month for a service and got talked to like that, I would cancel my account in a second. If a representative of a company talked to me like that in person, I might kick the crap out of him. | |

I'll bet you that the magic number is when a daily moving average starts exceeding 1440 minutes of music to listen to.
The spirit of the wording seems to indicate that actually *listening* to what you download is the point of it all.
There are only so many seconds/minutes/hours in a day ... | |

| Re: Well deyamn... hmm... a single player can play for up to 1,440 minutes in a day. **ponders** I have 3 PC, two stereos, one MP3 player, three cars with CD players, and two DvD players that can play CDA format. **ponders**
Now considering that I'm not playing the same tracks on different players, or if I am, I've purchased multiple copies of the song, I can play up to 15,840 minutes of music in a day..... As I've asked before, who's to say how much music I can listen to in a day? Maybe I like to listen to 11 different songs all at the same time.
ok, so I went off of the deep end a bit, but seriously, it isn't their place to determine what I can use in a day/month/etc. If I've paid for what I have according to the TOS, where do they have any ground to stand on? | |

| that is a blatant violation of the terms of service. There is NO SUCH THING as the spirit of the agreement, only the ACTUAL words and the interpretation a court puts on them. I'd sue..that is if I was silly enough to actually use a lame service like that. | |

Stick with the "vote with the dollar part". It's what real people do. | |

| Re: Well deyamn... Wow, that's clever. You disagree with what I say, so you turn it around and call me a woman beater and make me out to look like an idiot. I can't beleive someone actually took the time to take that "kick the crap out of him" part seriously. I never meant it to be taken literally, and didn't think anyone would actually do so.
But my point still stands. I refuse to be disrepected by any company that I am a customer of if I'm not in violation of their terms of service. If you're the type of person that likes to get screwed by big business, then more power to you. I, OTOH, refuse to just lube up and bend over. [text was edited by author 2002-11-10 20:12:33] | |

Well, duh! That is what they want from the hogs.
You can double your userbase with no changes, if you only lose the 5% who use half the resources.
Some people just don't understand not-so-subtle hints and get booted. Check out closing time at the local bar... | |
