I live in a very rural area where sometimes my connection is very slow. On other sites I can start a video, press pause and come back later to watch something that has loaded while I browse. Press pause on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ player and everything stops.
Is their a technical reason why this is designed like this, or just a poor design choice. Unfortunately we don't all have super fast speeds, and the player at the moment is a real pain to use.

CD's were over-priced for years compared to the US prices, so where there's a need there's a way! If people are too greedy they will eventually get it in the neck in regard to their financial success.
This is because inviduals eventually just get fed up of paying above the odds. Once people start getting things for free, the industry can't get them back even once they start lowering prices, as by then it's too late. If that isn't karma I don't know what is. It serves the greedy companies and individual right! hah!
