Universal’s had so many bad ideas on ways to hawk music it’s hard to keep up with them all. Still, I’ve tried.
Now one of their brilliant schemes — Total Disaster (a.k.a. Total Music) — is facing scrutiny from the Department of Justice.
Personally, I think Total Music is, well, a disaster. Still, I’m glad Universal’s moves are attracting some attention.
I agree with you 100%, as I too have posted on this subject on my own little blog:

Ever since Universal offered Amazon what they refused to offer iTunes, I knew that they were up to no good and I can only hope that The Department of Justice can knock a little common sense into them?
God only knows, they could use some!
