Last.fm was great from the beginning, great team, great interface a fun way to discover music.

Until one day big money buys it up. Now CBS wants to extort some money out of some of the users. Why do the people from the USA, UK and Germany don’t have to pay? I can think of two possibilities:

• Stupid fat corporate rep’s think the rest of the world isn’t capable of using this opportunity for creating a better alternative.
• Greedy people in gray suits made some calculations and they figured the profit they can get out of other countries is marginal so it’s safe to alienate them.

Either way what nobody thinked about is all the bad publicity this stunt is going to generate. Goodbye Last.fm, it was great while it lasted.

I want to congratulate the original team for their idea and their great work, I'm sure you feel has disgusted has I do with all this.
