It has always been like that, but it suddenly felt different. As if I lost a part of my daily routine. LOL
I find it DRACONIAN because of its strictness. And I have nothing against it either.

I feel this way too on the whole downloading thing. If i don't know if i like it or not I simply say "Forget it". I'm not spending the money only to discover I'm not fond of it. Then have to sell it to someone else for like half the cost of which I paid for it. Plus, none of the Music Stores even here have listening stations anymore, so there's no way to pick it up and give it a listen in the stores for what we do get in music. I admit I DL, but if I do like it then I'll buy it. Another thing however to bother me is the possibility of them limiting what we can and can't import in terms of entertainment into my country. I really don't want them suddenly saying I can't buy my Asian music CDs and concert DVDs/Blurays online.
