HMV: Top dog for ID theft
HMV are to launch a digital download service, don’t count on buying anything though unless you use Windows and IE6. Erm yeah I’m sorry you erm can’t get on this bus because well you are wearing the wrong shoes, we only allow people with black plimsols who have the latest version of soul.
I want to use this download service, I can play Windows Media files, I can in fact transcode them into a more freindlier portable format, I have the flash plugin and my browser is more secure than IE for making electronic transactions. I don’t use Microsoft Windows, hence am less likely to be infected by spyware, keyloggers, viruses and other such nasties, therefore my lack of stated technology doesn’t impead or prevent me from using the service, it actually makes it more secure to use such a service
The service provider has just lost an online customer. I’m very much sticking with CD’s. Be aware though Vista will actually cut off your monitor connection if you are playing a bit of multimedia that it thinks is non-legit …… make the switch, come over to Open Source, share the benefits, rejoice in the freedom!
