PRECISELY why consumers should NEVER purchase anything with
crapware like DRM embedded into it....Just say NO! HELL NO!

If you don't buy iTunes, iTunes must change......

The Yahoo! Music Store Will Be Closing; Important Information About
Backing Up Your Music Files

Greetings,

The Yahoo! Music Store, along with the ability to purchase and
download single songs and albums, will no longer be available as of
September 30, 2008.

Songs and albums that were purchased through the Yahoo! Music
Unlimited Store are protected by a digital rights management system
that requires a valid license key before they can be played on your
computer.

After the Store closes, Yahoo! will no longer be able to support the
retrieval of license keys for music purchased from Yahoo! Music
Unlimited, and Yahoo! will no longer be able to authorize song
playback on additional computers.

After September 30, 2008, you will not be able to transfer songs to
unauthorized computers or re-license these songs after changing
operating systems.
