When did I say that the IDM industry is living the extravagent life! If you check back you'll see that this gross exaggeration was from Rjyan "someone with real world experience" at exagerating, putting words in my mouth and being offensive. Check the words I wrote before coming back at me for having no "real world" experience, what I don't live in real world like those who run businesses? I never once mentioned Ninja tune in any of my mails never mind this one, and I have no interest in seeing their books. Where are you getting this stuff from? as for this...

it's a fact we are being charged too much for CDs. it's common knowledge how much they cost to produce and how much the stores buy them for. if you think it's value for money, then good for you. And don't bother dropping the "Student with a conspiracy theory" stuff, it's a little silly don't you think. I'm not a student, and anyway what if I was.

You're right it costs money to release records. And it costs me a fortune to buy them, I consider myself as part of the business chain being a customer and feel I'm entitled to an opinion. These people are producers of a product, and I'm buying it. I never asked anyone to justify their business practice to me, especially not Ninja tune. Being a mite over protective there. I'm sure the indies hearts are in the right place, and I pray for the day when they have total control over pricing in the big stores. I'm not happy being overchargred by any company, call it what you want but don't pretend I'm some kinda marxist avenger. Put Simply, I buy lot of records and until the record companies and stores stop taking a huge chunk off the top then I'll continue to get stuff for free too. I have seen the prices shops pay for stock, I don't mind paying (as I have done and continue to do) but I just don't want to pay that much. Whats with the fuck off? Can't you people hold a conversation without this BA Baracus attitude creeping in?!
