The day Sony's music died

Well, another music store bites the dust. According to Paidcontent.org, Sony is shutting down its Connect music service. I think they ought to put up a few songs for free to compensate all those people who are now going to have Sony copy-protected music that they won't be able to move to and play on other platforms. Perhaps they could do some original songs, like this one to the tune of Don McLean's "American Pie":

Bye-bye, digital downloads, good-bye,
We thought the iPod was a real fraud,
But it's what consumers did buy.
Our rootkit CDs cost us millions of dollars to try,
Yet, it's time to let the music biz die.
It's time to let the music biz die.

Don't worry; I'm keeping my day job.
