The 2007 Red Hat Summit hosted eMusic CEO David Pakman as a keynote speaker. We caught up with him afterwards to ask a few questions. Here, he explains why he believes consumer outcry over DRM is changing the music industry
The BIG problem with eMusic is what they have available. I'm talking about over 130,000 artists of which only 10% matter. I spent 5 hours "sifting" through what seemed like endless artist of no one, I was floored. I couldn't believe I just spent $11.99 on an online music service that has NOTHING, not to mention even though I had not downloaded anything yet and they could see that, they still would not refund me. Now that's cheesy.
"THIS" is exactly why I abandoned M$ and installed Linux a year ago. I'll be damned if I put-up with this bull-shit!!! I feel safe knowing Linux isn't calling home giving out my personal info. Scanning my media files checking for so-called legal ones??!! Crippling my hardware installing "updates" on the sly without my permission. The minute I learned of PALLADIUM I RAN to Linux!! M$ has fucking "LOST IT"! You'll have to put a gun to my head before I install Vista!
