anyone thought about there being a connection between
mp3 downloading and inability (by labels) to sale
physical product ?
we've been saying in the scarcelight newsletter for
awhile now
that IF you like what you hear when downloading then
please buy a hardcopy, it enables labels to continue
releasing music.
certainly NOT saying that its all there is to it, but
it certainly seems to have some part.
