Etrigan The Thief

I’m not sure who I should be mad at, but I stole today and I have to <semi-sarcasm>blame someone else</semi-sarcasm>.

NPR had an article some time in the last few days touting the iTunes revolution. It covered the ground that singles are outselling albums — the extreme opposite of what happens in record stores. I know the drive behind this situation personally. I’ve been “out” searching for the Chingy single Holidae In, hitting iTunes, eMusic and every half-assed service around with no luck. So, I stole it. I used my favorite p2p program to find a copy and I downloaded it. Chingy, his record label and iTunes are out money because somewhere in the chain some idiot thought he’d be better off not putting this song up for sale electronically. (There’s no listing for Chingy on any of the sites.)

Oh, well. Their loss.
