The hypocritical oppression continues.

Online retailer Amazon is being investigated by the British record industry in a probe into cheap CDs.

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is looking into whether it breaks UK laws by selling cut-price music.

It is already suing retailers CD-Wow and Play.com for allegedly sourcing music from cheap overseas suppliers.

If you download music, you are a criminal.

If you sell your CDs below the industry's price-fixed rates to encourage people to buy instead of download... you are a criminal.


Online sales have helped revive a struggling music econony with increased album sales, although the market saw a 7% drop in profits last year.

:rolleyes *sigh*

The music and movie industry have so much contempt for the people paying their wages it's incredible.
