I want to download a song...why is it so difficult? [View All]

[The Revolution]

So I wanted to try and download "Holiday" by Green Day, and I've spent half an hour trying to do so with no success. I visited several web sites (itunes, napster, musicmatch). On all of them they want you to download their stupid player (I have my own player, I don't need another).

So I download the itunes player. So now i have this slow starting piece of crap player loaded with ads and I open it up and Surprise! the one song I want I can't download. I have to get the whole album for $12. Screw that.

And of course itunes just decides its going to start up with my system without asking me if I want to have it do that, and of course it doesn't include a uninstall option from the start menu. They're gonna make me go through the add/remove programs to do it.

I find it hard to believe theres no demand for a simple "download a song service". I tried to go legitimate, but apparently I can't...back to piracy it is then. Good job capitalism. :eyes:
