"music that they keep as long as they continue paying"

How does he expect that to work without some kind of DRM for the music to stop working or disappear once you stop paying?

I'm as sane as spinola. Does anybody here want a free guitar?

He abandoned me in a music store that went belly up, so he could go play with his toy trains. 
And now he's turning the Inq into his private Facebook. What next: Second Life?

Well Bill, maybe you'd like to have a word with Steve over Vista and its overbearing, shoot-everything-that-moves DRM scheme ?
You know, just to let him know that YOU would never have done that.

Geez, I didn't realize that now you can post comments directly to the INQs columns. Hope this doesn't become as insane as the Cave. 
Nice addition though

so now its a full blown blog eh?. nice nice.

brace yourself for hordes of fanboyism and "im first" posts.

I hope it doesnt end like engadget.

The Kave isn't insane - it's just differently normal.

Anyway we serve a useful porpoise - would you want Farrell and Spinola wandering the streets?
