Finally, my favorite part. There are two buttons below the agreement. The first reads "Accept the Agreement" the second reads "Reject it". After reading all the above, I decided to reject it, and pressed the "reject" button. Immediately a screen with the word "Initializing" appeared, the proprietary software was installed, and the music started to play in my computer using the proprietary EMI player, as if I had "accepted" the whole thing.


edit: oddly, i just noticed this news is from march 24.. :/ regardless, i hadn't quite seen it yet.
further, i can't really find anything about it on any other site but digg after a cursory glance at google.. off to bed now :/
