Isn't it bad enough they are destroying small businesses? Now they want to dominate the sale of an individual band's record so they can get you into a store and sell you more product while you are there. It's really all about greed....not smart business.

They aren't "selling out." If you've noticed the record industry is just about dead and gone because you all go to itunes to pick and choose rather than buying CD's. What else is a band supossed to do. If any thing they did a great thing for other younger bands. It's a new way to garantee Record sales and actually make real money. even if no one buuys the CD's from the shelves of Walmart...AC/DC still starts off with having 4 million albums sold.

I believe they are the epitomy of American capitalism. I would guess you make purhases with price in mind. Hmmm.
