Looking at this Claim Form, I realized that I haven't actually purchased a new CD from a major distributor in a long long time. As a matter of fact, the last NEW music I purchased was from the 12K site direct... which means that Taylor Deupree got my money, not some sleezebag exec. I pretty much buy everything used... and this is probably because I find that "most" new electronic music releases to be rather boring. Sooner or later, my little collections will be complete and I can move to an island somewhere and graze with my headphones on. dj monolith (twice in one day!) --- P J Kane <postlibyan@yahoo.com> wrote:

Yeah!! I have over 700 disks and 20$ is not shit, but I am going to get my money. I have disks that I had to pay 40$ in the retail stores for. I am glad that someone went after the bastards for the high prices.
