Why online music stores might actually win
Album: Lucky Soul’s The Great Unwanted. UK import, not easily available here.
Option 1: Ordered from Amazon UK on the 16th of April. Expected arrival date in Canada, April 23-25. It is now May 3rd and the CD still hasn’t arrived. The last CD I ordered from Amazon UK arrived ahead of the expected date, so this is a bit odd. I fear that it may be lost, which will mean an e-mail to Amazon asking them to resend it, and possibly other lovely customer support headaches.
Option 2: I’ve already paid my monies for the album, so feel absolutely no shame in downloading the album from Oink. Total elapsed download time: three minutes.
I have my fingers crossed that my CD will show up in the mail tomorrow, but dammit, I’ve been waiting for this album for over two weeks now. So screw the post; I’m listening to “One Kiss Don’t Make A Summer” right now and I feel fiiiiine.
I AM SPARTACUS
Fun day on the intertubes today. In all my time on the internet I’ve seen online communities do a lot of strange things in the name of mob justice, but nothing quite like the apparently spontaneous Digg revolt. An amazingly swift and complete rejection of the idea that you can censor a number.
P.S. Everyone’s favourite HD DVD master decryption key now has its own domain name. Let’s see the AACS Licensing Authority attempt to take down THAT.
P.S. That number again is 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0.
