MP3.com is Toast

Well, the old MP3.com is now gone and, with it, an incredible archive of works by 250,000 artists. That’s two hundred and fifty THOUSAND artists (including my pals Heather Hates You). MP3.com’s founder, Michael Robertson offered to pay for the rights to the archive — or any other sort of arrangement to keep it intact, and Archive.org happily offered to host it. But C|Net, in its infinite wisdom, decided to just take the easy way out and pull the plug, instead. I wonder who got to actually hit the DELETE key…

Welcome to the wonders of the digital age.

*sigh*
