Wowwww. You ARE just so cleverrrrr.



But the trouble with your cleverrrrrness is what I said was a ststement of an apparent fact and had nothing to do with whining.

Good try, though. Maybe next time?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17106341 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 18:45:47 EDT Re: The Age of Enlightenment? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17106061 nixen :

Unfortunately, not all bands have that luxury.
True: only the bands that had an f'ing clue when they signed their record "deals" and could retain enough control to do it. It's not like the things mentioned are terribly expensive: certainly less expensive than losing sales, completely.

Ah!

There are many shows I have gone to over the long years and purchased legit cds afterwards for the amount or less you mentioned.

Take a look at Barenaked Ladies. Not only a great name for marketing (how many clicked just 'cause it said naked?) When Napster was the rage, they fought back. They released teaser tracks, 30 seconds of song with a minute of buy our new album. Their Everything to Everyone DVD/CD set they specifically say that they are, "competing with free". They know that. But at the same time they push out unprotected MP3 content. You can go to one of their concerts and buy the concert that you went to in MP3 format for around $12. Their new album Barenaked Ladies are me is available on MP3 and a special edition USB jumpdrive. They get it and I will give them my hard earned cash to support a group that "gets it".

What an easy concept they do not grasp.

Lower the price, offer better content and they will come.
For once, I actually agree with that statement.

Even if it had some DRM, most consumers would buy it if it made cent$.

Movie downloads you can't burn should be $.99. Maybe half the price of DVD if at DIVX quality.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17104790 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 14:53:43 EDT The Age of Enlightenment? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17104062 Grail Knight : What an easy concept they do not grasp.
