We double the price if you rewind.

Charging users that embed Youtube videos with music in it although they’re already charging Youtube for the same videos? No sweat. Have the gall to consider a cellular phone ringtone a public performance? These guys do.
Man, it seems like these guys have hit the bottom of the barrel.
Hehe, just kidding. Now they want to get paid for the 30 second previews used to sell their music.
Although the purchasing public continue to fund them, the recording industry doesn’t let appreciation get in the way of suing the very same people that line their pockets. This though, surprised even me and I’m not shocked by much that they do. Charging people to listen to a thirty second clip so you can sell them an overpriced album?
Fantastic!
