Jason made his debut on MollyRants.org with a succinct rantlet after hearing the news that Microsoft will shut down its DRM management server for its MSN Music service. This effectively prevents current MSN Music customers from ever moving their subscribed songs to a different device.

Molly's preceeding rant that led to this rant. This was when the news of an ISP tax to cover music download first came out. The RIAA said the tax won't be mandatory, but promised to sue any ISP if they don't get with the program.

Molly rants about Facebook and their overzealousness to be relevant to their users. Molly previously compared Apple to a bad-boy boyfriend, then, maybe Facebook is the stalker girlfriend. Or Al Gore.

Molly rants on Steve Jobs and his hatred for buttons, and how that hatred made its way down to the mouse's second button. Besides mice, Steve also doesn't like buttons on his shirts, elevators, keyboards, and iPhones. But, Tom is right. Visionaries are often crazy. Crazy on, Steve!

Molly put forth a slightly harsh rant on a nerdy pirate tool that called in to impress the BOLers. The first season 6 episode of "24" was to be sold on DVD the day after it aired, but actually appeared on bit torrent a week prior to its airing. Poor pirate. Nah, he probably deserved it.

Molly rants about Major League Baseball's new restrictions to news sites regarding media taken from the ballparks. Ballparks which were built mostly from public and regional business funding. The news sites must restrict:

• Daily highlights to 120 seconds
• No more than 7 photos per game
• Audio and video cannot be on the sites for more than 72 hours

Unless the news sites cut a deal with MLB, that is.
