		<description>@James I also wonder about that, but also know from being an avid reader of this site that Michael is a big music fan and has posted about just about every music service under the sun. Furthermore, Fiql isn&#039;t really something that&#039;s going to be pulling in any $$$ any time soon, so no real reason to pimp it.

Still, this &#039;product&#039; is: not well executed, infringes on YouTube&#039;s TOS, not strictly legal, and really just not that interesting.</description>

		<description>I am beginning  to wonder if some of the write ups are paid placements, directly or indirectly. Meaning,  if they are done as a favor to the investors and founder in exchange of something tangible or intangible. 

We have a bit of an issue here, the publisher is also writer and editor of a publication. Which naturally only leads to conflict of interest.  Would MA always use &quot;brilliant&quot; about a company that is directly competing with something he is involved with and has a brilliant solution?  

I think if MA wants to maintain credibility in long run, he might need to pull our of the entire editorial process. I know he has hired a CEO, but she is only to run the day to day things, and he is still the publisher and the editor.</description>

		<description>Agree with joe, how terrible a playlist is one restricted to songs with videos?

Also with Kanute. You can disagree by not buying, not supporting, but not by just making your own rules and rationalizing it. If you think another revenue model would make more sense for music, find an artist that works that way and sit alone in a room with your bad music and sense of self-satisfaction.

I&#039;m starting to be truly amazed at how outright cheap people are. There are plenty of ways to test an album before buying, and paying $10-$15 for something I generally spend at least 10 hours listening to is DIRT cheap.</description>

fiqul = fickle
