even though the cost side of the profit equation for the record co's, is
probably not much different than for a full length, the record companies,
in their incredibly benevolence, realize that if they were to release the
"short" work at full price, the inevitable exponential loss of internet
bandwidth due to endless pointless non-music related arguments by rabid
anal IDM trainspotters would reduce the hits they get to their
megacorporate web pages.
