Jailed for a Song, skip­ping com­mer­cials should be con­sid­ered steal­ing. What a beau­ti­ful idea. It’s not just the usual “we’re afraid of being robbed now that we’re sit­ting with our last cen­tury busi­ness model and wait­ing to under­stand what’s going on out on the inter­web”. It’s a lot worse. It’s bul­ly­ing peo­ple into con­sum­ing your prod­uct as is. Can’t offer a rea­son­ably priced prod­uct with­out com­mer­cials? Fine, fig­ure some­thing else out. Insist on com­mer­cials? Fine, make them inter­est­ing and we’ll all still watch. But cut the legal crap, mkay? [via Keld Bach]
