Ah, more good stuff on the online music thing.
Apparently the rocket scientists in the music industry are preparing to “adjust” the prices of online CDs and singles. The basic gist is that a CD download will cost more than the physical CD from a store.

That’s stunned silence, in case you can’t tell. What the heck are these people thinking? Where does this make sense? One example qutoed in the article is almost $4 more if you download it. Sure, sign me up. Let me pay more for it, not get any artwork or media, have it polluted with digital copyright protection so that I can’t play it anywhere I want, and so I will have to burn it to a CD anyway (that I have to buy myself anyway, and pay an extra tax on). Yep. That’s good business right there. Them fellers are smmart.
oh, yeah, maybe jacking the price of a whole album is stupid, so maybe let’s force people to buy a bad song when they buy a good song. I wish I was joking, read the article.
man.
