for authorized sale in the 21st century. b/c that situation kinda leaves consumers w/no choice except to purchase used or unauthorized copies of the product. which leaves the record company and the artist w/o compensation.

they're shooting themselves in the foot. still. cutting their nose to spite their face.

i dunno the particulars of the DLS situation - i'm speaking generally. when i haven't been able to buy a music product via authorized means i've used other means. b/c i'm going to have the product if i want it and can find it - one way or another. the record companies and artists can either take my money or not. it's up to them.
