It goes towards the cost of running the site, and since I support the philosophy of the site, I don't mind that part of the cost goes to that. In fact, the site I use charges about $9.97 for a full album download, so it IS way cheaper than buying the CD in the store, which is fair, given that you don't get the artwork, etc.

(And no - I didn't hear about the feud!! Jui-ceee! Funny, first time I heard the new song, i was like "what the HECK is that? It's horrid!" Then I caught myself singing it all day long, and suddenly, I love it. Go figure. It doesn't sound too Usher-ish. He's probably just jealous. )

I didn't think you were being argumentative, and I wasn't trying to be either (just so ya know fer shure). Like I said - just playing Devil's Advocate.

I only dl boots and demos, never "real" songs, so I didn't know about the $9.97 deal. Is that price good no matter how long the albums are? What about an 18-tracker like Say You Will, or a 19-er, like the new Tori album below (shameless plug )? If longer albums are the same, that really IS a good deal.

Here's the J-Lo, Usher dirt: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,144923,00.html

I didn't like the song too much, but thought the video (where she's playing 4 or 5 characters) was pretty cool. They coulda bumped it up a notch and included a 4-way J-Lo catfight tho, instead of all that silly dancing...
