Will these downloads count towards download limits?

Quite likely

Most of the heavy downloaders are collectors and not music fans, how heavy will these collectors hit this service in the hope of owning the whole Universal catalogue? (be the first, buy the 50Mb and hammer it, then cancel)

And I'm sure that has been factored into the agreements and the pricing

Will these downloaders kill my bandwidth?

No more than they do at the moment

With no DRM would it be legal to download some music and share it with another subscriber to this service?

Unlikely as the agreement on download will be to you personally. If the other person wants a copy they can download it themselves

What bitrate, format options?

Don't know yet

The heaviest downloaders don't listen to the music as fans, don't watch the films as buffs, don't use the software productivly. It's all about who has the biggest collection, who gets the release the quickest, who has a copy of the most expensive, who makes the rip and gets known worldwide.
It's the new sticker album collection, it's the new graffiti.

What would be the point of downloading all the music if you weren't going to listen to it? You wouldn't be able to give it to anyone else legally. So all you get is a hard drive full of stuff you don't want
