Bearing in mind they now charge about the same for an virtual album than Amazon do for a physical release without the worry of warehousing, packaging and handling costs, and which comes DRM'ed, undersampled, unpackaged, and with no guarantee of fidelity, I think they've got a damn nerve.Even if their margins were trimmed, you'd think the massive profit they make on their hugely overpriced and annoyingly disposable iPods would offset any potential loss.I recently listened to my friend's iPod after years of wondering what I was missing out on, and I was astonishing to discover that the sound quality was markedly WORSE than on my Sony mobile phone.The sooner these shysters and their crappy tin boxes get flushed out of the music market the better, as far as I'm concerned.
