and another thing

OH, PEOPLE JUST STEAL MUSIC, THEY'RE SUCH BASTARDS, WOES!

[as Irish ISPs fold to the will of people with big lawyers... cunts...]

Well, I just went to buy M.I.A.'s "Kala", as it reminds me of my bird, and ooh, lookie...

£4.98 for the CD. £6.99 for the mp3s.

MAYBE IT SHOULD COST LESS TO BUY THE MP3s OF A FUCKING ALBUM THAN TO BUY THE FUCKING PHYSICAL PRODUCT.

A single example, I know, but this happens all the fucking time. So! Yet again, I'll steal the mp3s so I can listen now, and order the CD to support the artist.

Same goes for fucking ebooks, that tend to be 90% of the price of the paper version, despite there being no fucking physical product to sit on your bookshelf.

YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

fucking morons.

[edit]: In fact, fuck y'all, I'll just listen to it on Spotify.

The other thing that is pissing me off at the moment is region restrictions on mp3s, after trying to buy the new Apop album online and finding I couldn't, as it was only available on iTune Germany. My full rant about it here.

As you put it: DOING IT WRONG.

Yep. I've tried to give Amazon.com my money for music, and because I'm not a Yank, they wouldn't let me. Trying to do the right thing here and they refuse to take my cash!

So stuff them.

The entertainment industry's message to the global economy: 'We're not ready for you yet! We'd rather deny your interest in our products and force you to obtain it illegally than take the tiny shift in policy to let you get hold of it legally!'

fucking tards.
