$%&#$% Music labels

So, a couple of days ago Alicia Keys did a concert in Portugal, and Radio Comercial is always playing what I assume to be her major hit, No one. I got curious about the rest of her music so I decided to buy one album to see if I like it.

So I clicky-click to the iTunes store only to be greeted by this:

Itunesscreencapture001

Now, this is not some obscure artist. Radios are playing her songs constantly around here, and she just gave a big concert, and the music is not available for purchase? WTF?

So choices:

  • drag my ass to some music store and buy the CD and contribute to the growing pile of carbon-based things I have no use for after I rip the CD into iTunes;
  • download a eco-friendly MP3 from some site online.

The problem is that I won't to the first because I don't want a dead-weight CD, and I really don't like the second choice.

Stupid labels who still haven't a freacking clue about how to operate in a global economy. Just lost a good sale today.
