Strange, they all promote 'legal' downloading of songs, but they charge €1.20 a song ($1.46).
So a full album will cost you €12.00 or $14.60 (10 songs), ad the cost of an empty cdr, cost of burning, and it would be cheaper to buy an album in your local cd store.....

And they still wonder why people keep on using p2p programs.....
