Bad Idea

http://www.wired.com/entertainment/music/news/2008/03/portfolio_0327

"The plan - the boldest move yet to keep the wounded entertainment industry giants afloat - is simple: Consumers will pay a monthly fee, bundled into an internet service bill in exchange for unfettered access to a database of all known music."

This is the most idiotic idea I've seen today. I mean really... The stupidity is staggering - a new hidden tax to support a dead business model so that giant media companies don't have to innovate and invest, and so can continue to ignore market forces...

Ya, that's the American way alright.
