That is a pretty big deal then. I guess there is not much keeping people from hitting torrent sites and downloading loads and loads of music, joining the music match service for one month and getting all of those songs converted to high quality, legit files.

I have mixed emotions about it. It is at least getting something from this, but at the same time it is rewarding piracy.

Maybe the music industry is just adopting the attitude that people will steal music no matter what they do and they can never sue enough people or do enough legally to stop it so they might as well make a few bucks wherever they can and then just rob the artists more by taking away shares of of their live performance and merchandising income to make up for it.
