Ars Technica is reporting further details on Nokia/Universal’s supposedly “free” all-you-can-eat one year music subscription service, and if you thought this plan seemed too sweet to be dreamed up by a bunch of music biz suits, you thought right. Not only are the Nokia tracks DRM’ed to prevent you from using other devices or even burning CDs, the DRM scheme in question is our sad old friend PlaysForSure. On top of that, the only way to renew your subscription for more free music after a year is to buy a new device. And for all of you who voted in the poll, it looks like Universal is billing Nokia around 5 bucks a month per device sold for the sub, which Nokia is I’m sure more than happy to pass on to you.

Dread Pirate game
Dread Pirate is a game of buried treasure, high-seas trading, cannon battles, hungry sharks and cut-throat play. The aim is to become the best pirate, amass the greatest fortune and crush your enemies – you can win by successful legitimate trading, or by trying to plunder jewels and coins from opposing captains and their ships.
The game takes place on a beautifully printed cloth map where islands, coves and treacherous seas are yours to explore, conquer, or become lost in.
You can have this for £79.95
