Lets hope that Microsoft have managed to resolve the licensing arrangements fully for world wide use. Musicmatch, a company I had much respect for until recently, have such a service now BUT ONLY for USA residents, which says several things to me. 1) copyright needs to catch up with modern world situations. 2) USA companies of all, should understand the net is worldwide. 3) Even in its music transactions the myopic view of the USA shows it's ignorance of real world trading issues. Pardon me for asking but is the USA not one of those countries that promotes the Wolrd Trade concept?
