What was stupid is stupid again.
I love how the author rants about how clueless universal is, and then proclaims the
holy grail in music is subscription services.

How many times now has that model been tried and failed?

People don't want to rent music.

iTunes is the third largest seller of music in the United States (including brick and
mortar), and yet armchair quarter backs continue to insist that subscription
services is where they missed the boat.
