Janitors are an important group of people sure, but how many of us want to be one permanently? It's like playing "fast food restaurant." It's a job many of us have had and were happy to move on from. If nothing else the pay is pure crap.
looked like a seizure of some sort? Lots of hte people bitching crying foul and blaming the zoo won't have a clue about biology or vet medicine. It's how it always is.
No kidding. I last bought a CD in 2004. As soon as DRM free downloads were legally available at Amazon, I jumped on that bandwagon, while making it a point to (usually) buy more obscure, less expensive music. Not because I'm a fan of "indie" music, but because the big labels have pissed me off time and time again, so hey, why not spend my music budget elsewhere? I don't pirate, but they still don't get much of my money.
Take a note of what the article said an LP cost; if he's right, they essentially doubled what they were trying to get and it just couldn't hold up forever. People don't like getting boned. And now there's alternatives that are viable, so people pursue them.
There's also the ease of use factor; I have 30ish gigs of music on my PC, with a decent soundcard and speakers. I can just let her start playing and not have to change disc. I can rip it to my MP3 player, and take the whole collection when I go on a trip. No searching through hundreds of disc to find what I want or anything. It's wonderful.
I want 1.2 of those. Some of its cogenerics do well in captivity...wonder if this will too?
