Bad Interfaces – eMusic Getting it Wrong

Pirate Flag!

Times have just got to change. I’m a little sick of living in a world that is regionalise into sales and licencing zones for no real reason besides to restrict sales due to some arcane money grubbing corporate policy.

What makes matters worse is people building experiences that highlight this and rub our face in it time and time again!

I regularly buy music online from various places, I tend to favour non DRM music, or if I can buy directly from the artist which is even better – I don’t like iTunes much at all.

It’s Simply About Selling and UX

What we don't need is a smack in the face

The other day we came across a web site that  shows all the things that are wrong with a good deal of e-commerce sites on the web.

A little background, we were looking for education books for our youngest child -  so why not look online.  You  know, from the convenience of our own home and all that.  So on  the recommendation of  a friend we went to a local publishers web site.

This site in question does children and adult education  books, judging from the home page I would say that they are focusing on an adult market, from young parents to grandparents.
