MSN Download Authorization Shuts Off 8/31
If you bought downloads from MSN Music, pay close attention. This letter came from Microsoft yesterday:
“As of August 31, 2008, we will no longer be able to support the retrieval of license keys for the songs you purchased from MSN Music or the authorization of additional computers. You will need to obtain a license key for each of your songs downloaded from MSN Music on any new computer, and you must do so before August 31, 2008. If you attempt to transfer your songs to additional computers after August 31, 2008, those songs will not successfully play.”
In simple terms, if you get a new computer next year; all the tunes you bought from MSN Music won’t play in it. “We will no longer be able to support…” is absurd given that Microsoft has the computing power and cash to “support” several good sized countries. This sounds like “screw the fan” to me.
