Used 25 song "free trial" as bait, then billed my credit card for 12 months in advance when I cancelled I Believe It's NYC New York

I'm comforted to see that I'm not the only one. Unlike most scams I've seen, these guys come across as hipsters devoted entirely to their mission of bringing deserving but relatively obscure musicians to a wider public. They seem way too cool to rip off their fellow music lovers.
Well, apparently not as I now see. Basically, when you sign up for their "trial membership" to get the 25 "free downloads" you are going to get billed monthly for one year no matter what. You can try to cancel one minute after signing up or one week or one month, it doesn't matter, you have just unintentionally donated $120 spread out over 12 months.
I spent about ten minutes trying to contact them, but this had all earmarks off a lost cause that could end up costing me hours of days of my waking hours so I decided to let it go and I tried to enjoy my $5.00/song free songs which wasn't easy.
