Of course, one thing to notice is that it seems that the downloaded and (supposedly) high-quality version is 1mb/4min, which works out to a rate of roughly 32kb/s. Normally, lowest quality mp3s available are at 128kb/s (1mb/1min)... you can imagine what 32 will sound like. I bet that sound coming out of any speakers over $10 will shred your eardrums, not just your speakers.

And to add insult to injury, you can only download once, and can't transfer between devices. I have to assume if you get a new computer or are forced to reinstall your current one, you're shit out of luck. This is of course the problem with every DRM scheme endorsed by the industry to date.
