      @strypey Years ago # had an Ubuntu-style promo where you could order glossy promo cards to distribute. I ordered some, saying as I can't afford to support their artists financially it was the least I could do. Guy in charge (forget name) basically called me a freeloader.

      @strypey I didn't notice the implication that their "try before you buy" policy from the start implied that "if you can't buy, you've no right to try". It's demoware culture, not # Never been back, and they haven't even thanked me for it.

        @mjd disillusioned idealists desperately trying to keep their start-up dream alive can be the grumpiest people in existence

          @mjd they're digging their own grave. Eventually some frustrated user will figure out how to vacuum up all their music and host it elsewhere

            @mjd their site is ancient too, I wouldn't pay their exorbitant license *without* the ability to suck down the entire library I paid for

            @strypey @mjd I never understood what they think they're gaining from it.

              @maiyannah @mjd it's like they think annoying people will make them give money, rather than just go elsewhere :P

          @strypey Not scarce or expensive any more: distribution. Still scarce: talent. Why do people providing the former think the value lies with them? Because #, I suppose.
