Great. Purple Rain and SOTT are now worth about buck and you get a free newspaper with it.

Ridiculous. [Edited 7/12/07 13:05pm] I don't understand why you feel that this distribution scheme somehow devalues the music to "about [a] buck." So explain it to me this way: I paid $7 for Purple Rain when it came out. What is its worth based on your value scale? | |
