I Heart DRM

Silly me, tried to download "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", from Concert for George, via Rolling Stone.

Free downloads are good.

DRM, not so good. Especially when there's a separate web hit involved. To get a license. To listen to a free download.

And then they break the stupid thing.

Server Error message seen when trying to obtain a license to listen

I'll bet it'll sound pretty good, someday. I'd very likely buy the CD if I could hear this -- say, in that nasty ol' MP3 format.
