Now this is exactly what i was afraid of: paying too much attention to such foolish acts. In fact we empower them by doing this. But it is the way of the world, and me, by leaving another post, just make things worse. Just notice how i try to change the subject, all the time...
Went through the itunes apple store downloads, and to my surprise i saw what greek customers download. The most recent song is 7 years old! But no MFN! I would never buy music through such shops. They are very expensive for the thin air they provide. I like the physicality of the vinyl and well even the CD. But downloading for 1 euro (even for 0.50) is stealing.
Read if you can " Last shop standing" and "Vinyl Junkies". They are extremely funny and also to the point about the failure of independent record shops and what this eventually brings.
And now for something completely different, (as dusty said some people have too much time, might as well do something useful with it): Since i am Greek, living and working in Greece(with the constant danger of losing my job and my house and my life as it is and any kind of future...) I tell you that we are now experiencing the very beginning of the crisis and not just for Greece. I stayed up late to watch this lecture (link at the end of message). It is a nice one, even if you don't agree with it, it puts your mind in motion, questioning many things about economy and capitalism in the USA. It is not peculiar that i found great resemblance with the Greek phenomenon. What's worse, i think that we are only the first country and many others (not just Spain, Portugal, Ireland or Italy but also UK and France) will go through. It is close to 90 minutes but if you don't have time watch the last 15 minutes, that include the closing of the speech and answers to questions.
You will miss a great lecture, but i think that these minutes can work as a teaser...
