I dont equate it, but I do consider some things to be a 'rip off'.

like mobile phone fascias at 9.99ukp a pop, or PCs at 1200ukp in PC world, or BK burger meals at over 4.00ukp with only a pathetic half-regular-from-5-years-back sized milkshake, etc.

99% of CDs on the market fall into the same category. Some are genuinely rare or hard to obtain recordings, and worth it, but the rest are mass manufactured garbage. Not to mention that many new ones explicitly remove (or try to) your right to back them up...

You obviously aren't used to buying things.

Heh. very funny.
