What A Joke

Yeah sure, people are going to line up to buy full-length albums over their cell phone. Especially for a power singles-driven band like AC/DC. Just another lame attempt by record labels to grab headlines and look like they're embracing technology. It's about SINGLES, which are readily availalbe for free on P2P. That is where they need to strike deals.

Stop playing with your willie and pay attention!
They aren't selling over the phone. PC only.
(Which does make it even more of a joke from a cell phone carrier.)

What kind of deals could they strike with P2P where nobody buys albums OR singles? Seriously.

But why mess with p2p, risking computer viruses, legal theats and fines? My library loans CDs so I can burn a CD copy and rip into a lossless format, unlike that junk you sniff from the P2P store. Then I can scurry down to the copy room and for a few pennies make a color copy of the artwork.
What a pirating noob you are.
