EMI joins Universal in Spiral Frog hijinks

EMI is adding their catalog to Spiral Frog’s offerings, where music will be available for free download at a bizarre price. I elaborated on my feelings about this in Spiral Frog is a bunch of bull frog. So I won’t go into rambling on it again.
Over at the AJAX Blog I grabbed this quote:
The (big) downside here is that the music at SpiralFrog will be wrapped in strange DRM that requires regular logging in the the ad driven SpiralFrog service in order for the music files to continue playing. Standard DRM of limited devices, copies and Windows only applies as well. Some people say it’s still a big step because it’s free music, I (and others) question the technical coercion and wish there was some better way to do it.
Looks like I’m not alone in thinking that this might be a bad idea. Never did like EMI. Must be a Pistols thing.
