Free, eh? I like free. Free is good.
But is it really free? Ah, the 75 downloads are free, yes, but only after you re-join and pay for a month’s subscription.
I don’t have a problem with people making money — far from it, I wish I knew how to do it myself — but I find the structure of this offer a little deceptive. eMusic has such good street-cred (disproportionate to the music I found when I was a member), it would be unfortunate if they squandered. I think they’ll get better as we see fewer and fewer record companies trying to criminalize their customers.
