Re: Wow what a great idea!
Well, I was going to subscribe to EMusic myself this weekend. I was also going to purchase subscriptions for my parents and two friends as holiday gifts (if that was possible) -- but now I won't even consider looking at it. So much for honest advertising practices.
Come on folks, UNLIMITED means UNLIMITED. I can provide a definition from Webster's if you like...
EMusic ought to keep in mind that they are not the only online source of music. Perhaps instead of purchasing my parents a subscription to EMusic, I'll download Kazaa Lite, Shareaza, and a few others and "hook them up" using a method that truly does allow for unlimited downloads...
Downloading copyrighted music on P2P (I refuse to call it "stealing") may be unacceptable when faced with the ability to get a legitimate copy from other sources online. But when those sources outright lie and push false advertising down our throats, the P2P networks become all the more acceptable and moral, IMHO. Given the choice between "stealing" music and being lied to by EMusic, I would opt for the former if I were looking for a source of online music.
It's stuff like this that will keep the P2P networks alive and well. Can't the music industry figure it out-- offer services at a reasonable price, and then keep your word and provide what the consumer paid for. That must be a very novel concept to some.

| yes, there are others, but their policies are far more restrictive. I got about 1000 good albums from them, so I really can't complain about them--if we are arguing semantics here, they say unlimited HIGH Quality mp3's, and while 128 is ok, it is hardly high quality, but hey, it beats an encrypted one play .wma by about 1000X.
as for kazaa and the like, they can't beat the speeds of emusic or the "download manager" that organizes all downloads into album/artist subdirectories and names them just how you tell it to
