I wroted an e-mail to di.fm, (Digitally Imported Radio)
http://www.di.fm/, one of the best online radio with like 40 or so online music stations with different electronic music. They also have an amazing Premium subscription service, which I think can use Bitcoin payments really well.
I asked them, what they think about Bitcoin payments and if they are planning to implement it.
That's what I received:
Hi,
There's some issues with normal business practices, such as refunds, subscriptions, etc. that make it difficult to support it as a payment method. I suppose if people using bitcoin want to waive their normal rights as a consumer, which is not allowed by law, it might be possible.
Also the inherent volatility of the currency is an issue. If you paid 0.1BTC for a year, and requested a refund, you might get 0.05BTC back, as we operate with USD as the main currency.
All-in-all, it's a decision that has been made at the top of the company.

How I should respond to them? What you guys think about it, is there any thing I should mention to make them reconsider this decision?
Maybe one of you should write to them as well, I know you guys can persuade them better than me.
