Subversive technology alert! From: MIT Tech. Review: Subscription Music's Curious Silence:
"Call it the soft underbelly of the subscription music business model, something none of the major players seems to want to talk about: It's very easy to turn stream-only services into download plans without changing a thing.

Replay Music, which retails for $50, will even append song, artist, and album information to the file in the background, with about a 90 percent accuracy rate.

None of the the major streaming services -- Napster, Yahoo?s MusicMatch, RealNetwork's Rhapsody, or digital music distributor MusicNet -- would talk on the record about their company's position on the various programs."
