Good point, Dennis, It´s easy to put all the guilty on the Internet. But there´s many other questions on it. The neoliberal companies are allways trying to save some money, with or without web. Nicolau

Not an April Fools joke: EMI announced that they are closing the Uden plant in the Netherlands and the Illinois plant in the USA. Future North American CDs for EMI will be manufactured in Canada by Cineram (which bought WEA Manufacturing/Ivy Hill recently). There was no announcement regarding where EMI's European CDs will be manufactured, but it's likely they'll be outsourced to an independent manufacturer as well.
DAMN YOU KIDS AND YOUR ILLEGAL MUSIC DOWNLOADING! Peace.
Mind that last year was the 3rd best year for record companies despite the ecnonomics, and that a scientific search found out that there is direct correlation between the swapping of files and album sales, a POSITIVE correlation.
Stop believing Majors PR BS.
It's the small independents that are diying, and it's the economic situation fault.
On EMI politics, they are just moving plants where it's the less expensive… typical neoliberal (economic sense, not the US politics non sense) approach of management.
