Read this, you'll snicker

In a local paper here I came across this article. Remember how the Major Record Companies got sued for price fixing and they had to donate thousands of CD's as part of the settlement? Read on for a tidbit..

"Librarians across the region found out this week what it means to get too much of a good thing. As they begin to unpack long-awaited shipments of free compact disc's courtesy of a lawsuit against the record industry, they found several recordings to add to their collection, and they found even more that simply did not make sense.

What, Methuen librarian Krista Mcleod said she asked herself, will she do with 21 copies of an obscure Gregorian chant by The Monks of Silo, Singing "The Mysteries of Silo?"

The shipments are packed with so many multiple copies and little known titles many librarians are wondering if the record companies involved in the anti-trust lawsuit-brought by 40 states against the record industry for price fixing-simply shipped thier back catalog."

Seems like the record companies are still having the last laugh??
Thought you may find this funny!!

Your version had another great title by the RIAA. Definetly worth a laugh. I am going to have to look up these Monks of Silo.

I like gregorian chants, very restful and good for meditation.

Their not getting any money from me anyhow, I haven't bought
a music CD in at least 5 years or maybe 6.

Of course they would send their back order CDs, do you
actually think that they would send out thier hottest selling
CDs? Of course not !

Anyway what do you expect, Microsoft or any other billion
dollar company would do the same thing, so no use even
bothering with them.

Since when is rare content a bad thing?

I think this is good, libraries should index EVERYTHING they can, especially those items which may be lost to time without preservation.

if the whole box was just those cds I could see how she might think the Riaa is pulling something. For all of you not in the know Gergorian chants are damn trippy.

but not 21 copies of it

if you want to save the stuff nobody wants, 1 copy is enough, since nobody will check it out anyway

rare is one thing, but trash nobody wants is another thing entirely
