Ever notice the FreeCreditReport.com commercials always end with “offer applies with enrollment in Triple Advantage” ??
Triple Advantage is a service where they charge $10/month to your credit card… And in return, you get your report from the 3 bureaus each month. I’ll go out on a limb and assume there’s some ridiculous fee for cancelling the service.
The only FREE site is AnnualCreditReport.com (or you can go to each bureau’s site individually). It’s run by one of the bureaus, and allows you to get your credit report from each of the bureaus absolutely free once per year (as mandated by the government).

What was the service that bought physical cds then rented the tracks on them over the internet?
There was a service maybe 5 years ago that had the business model of buying a bunch of cds, then renting the tracks on them so that for each renter of the cd track online, they had a physical CD in their vault. I think it failed, but I can’t remember the name of the service.

What changes do you want to see in the music industry?
In your opinion as a consumer/music lover/ musician/ whatever you may be, what changes do you want to see in the industry, whether simple or drastic? I’m looking at creating a new business model on an old structure that is outdated and running into problems with the internet. I want to find ways to use to internet to benefit the industry instead of trying to control the internet. But beyond that what ideas do you have that can better this industry?

Big music companies could stop trying to ruin the internet and lobbing to change laws that will make a 1984 style world possible.
I wish to have them stop trying to make me believe that I am a fan of some Canadian kid with a bad haircut
They could consider maybe making music that isn’t crap.
I think the internet has done a great deal to improve the music industry giving us global access to performers but it does make us more likely to buy from Jonathon Coulton than Metalica
some things the evil RIAA has done were not bad like licencing youtube videos instead of pulling them
