[The Darkest Canuck]

i stopped buying cd's long ago, the last real store copy cd i got was IBE and it was a gift. if i want to support a band i go to their show, buy a dvd, or a shirt or something. i'm over paying $15+ that i don't have for something i can get for free, call me selfish or greedy or w/e but "it's like that, and that's the way it is". i still buy stuff from indie bands that really need the support just to make it to their next gig or eat or w/e, but as far as your superstar rappers and rock stars go, they're not starving, and there's a ton of other people out there buying their shit, so they'll be just fine i'm sure. they make more in a week of touring than your average person does all year.

I have a copy, I am not to worried about U2's bottom line they will be fine if some people dont buy the album. I will be buying the album anyway.

Here is an article on why the Band has gone the Ipod way for this album release

[Number Four Bobby Orr]

They did the ad and didn't even get paid for it!?! I think I lost even more respect. If you're gonna be a whore, you might as well get paid.
