Second, imho that is pretty lame...like I said, unless you are willing to provide the bandwidth and harddrive space for the same price... Sound click is neither intrusive nor malevolent. They provide a pretty decent service to the community for free. The only thing they want is a login name. This is probably to save on bandwidth, those unwilling to participate in the community don't get any. Many other sites do the same thing; if they allowed downloads without an account it would tripple the requirements of their systems...why the expense for a bunch of dorks that don't want to be a part of what is going on? I only got one spam through soundclick and they took care of it instantly. It wasn't their fault and they behaved appropriately when it happened. You can ask nothing more from a service like them. They obviously do not sell their account information to third parties. I'm sorry, but when a company offers something free like soundclick does it is pretty lame to complain about them wanting login accounts to use it. Everyone else charges their artists or provide limited space. Soundclick does neither. IMHO they deserve some kudo's for that, not a bunch of complaining because they want login accounts...that is just stupid and selfish. No, I am proud to be an artist on soundclick's website. If you don't like it you don't get to download my music. I am not going to let that bother me too much.
