Yahoo screws music buyers.

Did you legally buy music online from Yahoo? At the end of September, you won't be able to move it between machines anymore. You've lost control of the music you "purchased."

In screwing their customers over, Yahoo joins an illustrious club, including Microsoft, Major League Baseball, and Google.

When you "buy" activation locked content, you will eventually lose access to it. The question is when, not if. Companies that promise long term access are either lying or clueless.

At least they seem to be offering to replace it with mp3s or refunds.

But yeah, DRM sucks.

That's why I like Amazon. Just straight mp3s for everything.
