Rob Walker of Slate's Ad Report card deconstructs BuyMusic.com's latest advertisements, calling them a of Apple's iTunes Music Store Ads: "...BuyMusic is explicitly interested in underscoring that its service is a copycat. And that message ignores the fundamental truth that advertising is a form that's essentially antithetical to self honesty: It may be true that in real life 'the rest of us' are trend-followers, not trendsetters—but none of us like to think of ourselves that way."

    Some of us applauded BuyMusic.com as legitimate competition. They've sorrily been an embarrassment. Let's hope they can pull their act together.

    buy music lacks the wherewithall to compete on the same level. i cant see why people even get going about it, its just petty IP theft with those ads. and sorry, anything with Tommy Lee automatically gets my condemnation.
