In Portugal even a classic like "music has the right to
children" is not
easily found in stores. And I'm talking about large cities,
not small towns
:) If I want to ear some EP from Arovane, Funkstörung,
whatever, and I
don't trust the Net as a medium to buy anything, I would have
two options:
forget the record or going to napster. Another example,
yesterday I tried
to find Bola in stores and... I didn't found. I could give
you more
examples. I believe if you have cash ($$$$) or if you live in
large cities
in England, Napster is stealing money from artists. But when
cash is low
and/or you don't live in cities with good stores, Napster (or
Audiogalaxy
;) ) is realy an option... And access to culture should be
universal, I
think...

yes definitely but in case you want to support and buy records methinks
that this is a good ressource to find records In Portugal :

Obviously direct ordering is fine and surely cheaper.
