I used to have a last.fm account several years ago. I really enjoye |
|
listening to recommended music, meeting new people and in short, |
|
being a part of that "social network". Things |
|
changed when I learnt that based on the country where I lived, |
|
listening to music had become an exclusive service for subscribers. |
|
deleted my account. |
|
|
|
It is not that I care about spending a bit of money. (Subscription |
|
only $3/month) What I find extremely unfair is that it is completel |
|
for free depending on the country you live in (USA, UK and Germany) |
|
WHY? |
|
|
|
In the beginning I connected to my account using a web proxy. It di |
|
the trick but I thought it would be better if I simply stopped bein |
|
a member as a way to show my disagreement with their policy. |
|
|
|
Now, some years later. I still feel the same way but I felt like |
|
trying this scrobbling thing (free service), just for fun. So I |
|
opened a new account. It is sad to see that if I connect to last.fm |
|
from my sdf-eu account I get their service for free but If I connec |
|
from my country I get a reminder that I have to subscribe. *sigh* |
