Not DRM, but remarkably similar.

jackofallgeeksSo, I think it's interesting that Rhapsody is
getting into the business of selling mp3s. I'm pretty sure that's the
subscription service that some of my friends who're still in college have
mandated for them (I imagine the cost gets rolled into their tuition). I
think it's even more interesting that they're letting people preview full
songs on their service. But I find it most interesting that they're trying
to limit those full previews to 25 per month, and in particular that they're
using a cookie to make sure people play by their rules. I mean, what's to
keep someone from deleting the cookie, especially when all you need to do to
find it is search for *.SOL?
