What bitter irony that the danes refer to Sweden as Prohibition-Sweden.

When they stop suing I will start buying again. They've got the right to sue, and I've got the right to abstain from buying what they're selling. Boycott the big 5 until they stop the mafia extortion tactics! Buy second hand and independent.

Everyone should know this by now .

why do we have to pay for music?

It's easy to have in the internet. so i don't want to pay. the only time i will go buy a cd...it's when an artist who start is selling his first album...

why are we acting so helpless. we've got the idea of boycotting the music industry for their lawsuits, but we should organize and make it huge. spread it across the nation. the world. stop buying music until they stop suing people.

today, i bought 2 cd's that cost me $41.34 ....for two fucking cds.

darude - 18.99

ministry of sound 2004 - 20.99

plus tax...

darude alone had only 13 tracks. and it cost over 20 bucks with tax included. thats over a dollar a track, and the cd sucked. i just dont like darude...but a friend told me to get it..

agree with you here, it's not like you get a better product when you buy it, you actually gets a worse!

Indeed it is terrible. Plus, DVDs, which cost about the same as the average CD in Sam Goody or wherever you buy, has a lot more content than a CD. Hence, I feel people aren't getting their money's worth on these CDs.
