Yea this is too true. In my previous posts on these topics you'll often hear me mourn the passing of emusic.com.. well its still alive but Universal acquired it and changed it from a flat fee unlimited download (no drm) music service with indy labels to a flat fee limited download music service with major label crap (to its credit they decided not enforce any DRM, they are still plain ol mp3 downloads).
Unless a service comes close to what emusic USED to provide, I cant see myself using them. Im not holding my breath though. Something I might go for would be a service with unlimited downloads for artists older releases, while keeping their new release(s) on a pay-per-download status (until they come out with a new release).
