Nobody seems to care that they aren't saving the music anymore, and that the songs they cherish today might disappear tomorrow.<p>DRM encrypted music is a great evil, marketed as convenience.<p>> "As technology has advanced, the atomic unit of consumption has shifted, from prepayment for consumption of all the songs in an album (the CD), to prepayment for use of a single song (the download), to pay-as-you-go for an individual song (the stream). With each step, the artist (and anyone who represents that artist, like a label) gets paid less and later; with each step, the listener gains more flexibility in paying for and consuming what they want, when they want it."
