Now NOT Playing

Anything from Napster. They didn't sound like a very good deal back when they launched their new legal version and I think that's become obvious even to them. Essentially you just rent or lease the music you get from them and if you ever cancel your subscription the music becomes unplayable so you wind up with nothing. Today I saw they're offering a free trial to attract new subscribers. That's a big red flag right there. If the deal was any good in the first place they wouldn't have to do that now.
