You say MP3s are super low quality? Kids these days don't know what they're missing?

If true, that should boost the value of actual CDs, music on DVDs, and *especially* live performances.

Business model: give away the MP3s. Sell lots of CDs cheap. Sell DVD music and concert tickets for a premium, the real fans will pay for it.

Or you could go on suing everyone to stay afloat.

Just a thought anyway.

I was in yekrat's group.
We couldn't understand gary's
speil on the tv in the on deck area.
I'd suggest closed captions (and
they help those of us with hearing
issues.) We tried to listen to it.
A clock, while ruining the setting,
would help in the town. It didn't feel
like we had 20 minutes in there.
