So Apple’s basically betting you’ll pay $25 a year to legalize all your content[…]
I really don't like the part about legalizing my collection. The music I ripped and encoded myself from hundreds of CDs that I bought retail are just as legal as tracks from iTunes.
Your music is already legal. Not sure what you don't like about the "legalizing" aspect, as it doesn't pertain to you.
iTunes Match sounds like a way for the labels to get finally get income from the music pirates who torrent stuff off of Pirate Bay. A share of the $25/year is better than the $0/year they're currently seeing.
