Ripping yarns
Matt and Phil have made a couple of excellent posts recently about the availability of music in digital form. In Matt’s post, he discusses the failings of BuyMusic.com — a new and fatally flawed music download store. In the other article, Phil laments the CD copy protection he recently encountered that stopped him listening to his music on an iPod. Both are well worth reading and raise issues where the consumer’s message is failing to get back to the record companies properly.
Of particular interest (to me, at least) was the revelation in Phil’s post that Amazon actually do tell you which of their CDs feature copy protection. Big kudos to them for doing this — other sites have wilted under pressure from the recording industry. Yet again, however, Amazon are putting the customer first. I might just have to switch my business back to them for this alone. The question is, how much extra am I willing to pay to get that message across and will I be alone in doing so?
