Also wasnt CDDB also the one where basically we ended up with creative commons license? The basic problem though is servers cost money and time to run. No one really wants to pay much for it.

Then basically whoever runs it runs into an issue (job loss, crazy bill, anger, whatever) and says screw it this now costs money.
