I have just heard that MS are disconnecting the MSN Music (otherwise know as PlaysForSure) authentication server. Part of me is saying “told you so” but I can’t help feeling sorry for those who bought tracks and will find that they can no longer play them. After 31-Aug it will be DeadForSure if you have to change your PC, get a new hard drive etc. They will discover that they haven’t bought the music, just rented it for a while.
And now Yahoo are about to do the same thing on 30-Sep even though MS have extended their deadline by three years. Even so they both will be taking something away that you thought you had bought and paid for to own.
