thread_title:  Last.fm is NOT usable for citations 

message: This announcement generated over 1600 complaints (comments) in two days, then discussion was quickly closed. (A forum is still available, but heavily moderated.)
People have been throwing a lot of insults at last.fm, for example:
*Discrimination against countries (UK, US and DE got a free pass, only the poor countries will have to pay.)
*Datamining, as in accepting listening statistics for free, then dumping those who are not willing to pay the new fee.
*Collecting a "being-from-the-wrong-country-fee".
Others just expressed their disappointment in one line before leaving:
*Sucks!
*Bye bye last.fm
*Account deleted
*End of last.fm
*RIP 2002-2009
*Disgusting
*It was good while it lasted.
People who are from the "right countries" (US/UK/DE), and even those who have been paying a subscription fee before are now threatening to cancel their accounts if this was not a joke.

message: The info about awards, prizes and other rcognition seems to be added here-&-there, in random places.  I've done a few copyedits, but if someone can cut-n-paste, these should be combined into one subsection, maybe after the history.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.178.14 (talk) 21:37, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
