Hey Rae Rae,

Well I'm sure there are some who are disappointed. I'm a little peaved that SACD and DVD-A were allowed to rot on the vine. We all have our crosses to bare. Until the industry recognizes that many, especially youngsters, are either unwilling or incapable of paying $15.00-$18.00 for two good songs and some filler they're gonna have to think outside the envelope.

Clearly the scare tactics aren't working and the people who are going to download because that's all they listen to aren't about to stop. If they can be slowed down by the fact that by the time the full-res release hits the stores the songs are already played out to the song-of-the-week crowd then maybe they have a chance to try something different.

It's going to be an interesting battle to watch. The standard aspects of stupid, blind American corporate greed come into play--and all the resultant idiocy and buffonery that come in that package. The big boy execs have too much money on the line to simply abandon the current business model...and the dealers and the pimps don't wanna go to rehab.




But you're right, I wouldn't watch it for free on a pop up.
