Basically fits my view of all these companies. They want money each and every time you touch, see, hear, smell or taste a digital product. Look at Bill Gates' previous talking points of where he wanted to take Microsoft. The end game for Microsoft was/is it to be a rented OS. You buy nothing when you get the product, you just get a rental contract. Pay by the minute, hour, day, week, month, year. The endgame is basically, if you want to use your computer, we have the key, and we will allow you to use it, for a fee.
Same goes for movie, music and game industry, they are all going towards the pay per play. Buy a CD and they claim you do not own anything, if you want it on your iPod pay iTunes, want it on your computer, pay someone else, want it on some other mp3 player, another fee, in your car, pay a fee, their end goal is to charge you every time you hear more than ten consecutive seconds of anything remotely similar to something they can claim copyright to. These companies are nothing better than a buch of socialist parasites when it comes to how they see their products, as a way to enslave people to their company products. The time when you could simply buy something, and not have to worry about it is coming to an end.
All you younger kids with your anti piracy rants can rant on all you want, but when you let these companies lock you into pay per play for every single small thing in your life, your life will be very much a rat race of trying to keep up on all those nickles and dimes($1, $14.99, $29.99). They may seem like small numbers, but as the companies multiply the number of pay per play items in your supposedly can't live without catagories, your future incomes are going to start looking very small compared to your parent's income of years past. Of course, I guess you could just as well join them, and maybe make money.
