For one of my favorite artists, the only way to obtain her CDs, is by purchasing
the pirated editions.
At least one CD in her native language has not been released by her label,
because her native language is spoken by a tiny percentage of people in her
native country, and isn't spoken outside of that country. The label, in its
infinite stupidity, thinks that nobody will buy the CD, because they don't
understand the lyrics.
Pirated versions of that CD are available, and not only in the Near North.
Then there are her CDs that the People's Army declared unfit to listen to, so
the label dutifully destroyed them, but the pirates keep on selling them, on
both sides of the Pacific Ocean.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

There was a song playing, down here, that I was hearing all the time. I thought
"I wonder what that is" but I don't listen to the radio, as it can be
pretty dire, or hours of MTV so I could not tell what it was. One day I watched
something on the internet that had it as background music and identified it.
OK, I thought I might try and get a legal copy, a dollar or two for a track
might not be too bad. Well, after a bit of searching I could find copies on
YouTube, lots of downloads of varying degrees of dubeiosity but no official
download. There the music companies had a quick easy sale but no way the
potential client could connect. I suspect if I had gone through iTunes or
similar I may have found it but then I don't have iThingy. Now, why complain
about pirates when you can't even provide the service? If they want to make all
that fuss then they should make sure that their legal purchase option is there
on the first page of search without the need for hunting through secondary and
tertiary search methods.
