Soon, the novelty wears off and they'll go back to just buying music they like and want to actually own.
You know, this is what I'm thinking with my WoW subscription. I have to pay 15$US a month to be able to play. And no matter the number of hours I play, I still pay 15$US a month. In my mind that means I have to play a lot to get the most from my monthly fee. I do wish Blizzard had subscriptions based on purchased hours. Say, 15$US for 100 hours of play. If I abuse and play a lot, I end up paying more. If I don't play much in the month, I have more hours left in the bank.
These "all-you-can-eat" monthly fees are adding up too fast. After apartment/house, car, television, phone/cellphone and internet monthly bills, I like to be able to limit the spending a bit. Adding monthly fees for games and music seems rather dumb to me.
Especially since I already have about 30 digital audio channels in my digital cable subscription. All I'd need is to record to my computer and make MP3's.
