a) If you get all your music from the big stores then the first part would be reasonable and true. But, I and many others who love music will track down the albums we like (either at concerts, through obscure magazines and by word of mouth) and (most of the time) won't mind paying the asking price.
b) As a Brit I can actually appreciate irony =o) but if people are stupid enough to lay out $19 for essentially a cd single then they deserve all they get. Why should they be allowed anywhere near a massive catalogue of great music when they can't even pick one cd off a store rack?!?!
c) If this guy really wants us to have a cut of the action - then let me know where his website is with all his comedy material on so that I can use them at any family reunions, weddings and funerals. I won't pay him or acknowledge his creation - but I'll gladly rip him off because I can and I'm too cheap to either write my own stuff or buy a book to help me in my comedy-speech writing.
