Excuse me.
Does *anyone* else see the irony (okay, dressed-up stupidity) in the above
statement? Please - let's take a minute and savour:

"They've apparently determined that the market price is what it is."
... followed by...
"No need for price fixing."
<end quote>
Right. That logic reconciles completely. Well... for one at least, I'm
sure.
"Flip-over", your willing subservience as a consumer is beginning to worry
me - is it difficult going through life always bent over in the prone
position?
You realize it's exactly your mindless capitulation to *whatever* price
charged that's responsible for the supreme arrogance of the RIAA, as well
as providing them with the funds to ensure that you will ALWAYS pay
whatever they demand... oh wait... I can already sense I've lost you.
Of *course* you don't realize it.
That's your one dependable feature.
