And when I say "literally", I mean it literally. I was walking along, listening to the radio on earphones, and I heard the news, and my immediate reaction was nausea. Not like a bad hangover, like "I must run to the toilet now"; but a definite, physical, queasiness. Is this so surprising? @Toad: Yes, literally. And when I say “literally”, I mean it literally.

They used to use it as a sales point, and free redownloads don't happen by accident - they had to track everything we'd got from them and treat those tracks differently.
