i understand that all this is a kind of reaction to the free downloading craze that started with napster. some people are fine with it, i have some issues with it... my tough luck i guess. maybe i have too much faith in people supporting the bands they like without being coerced into supporting a big corporation along the way.
my only question now is why does itunes call this an unreleased track... it got released... yesterday. it's one thing to sell it, it's another thing to try and use the rare/unreleased thing as a marketing strategy. the road apples outakes, fully completely and day for night demos... those are unreleased (funny how neither the hip nor their former management seem to upset about the lack of cash they made off people having those). kinda weird how the hip cut 15 or so songs in the studio with the intention of making money off 12 or 13 of 'em.
i can't see myself not purchesing this tune at some point in the next day or so... just voicing some displeasure bout the situation...
