OK. So i spotted that Soundgarden had released a new album (King Animal) while messing about on Youtube. Great, I think to myself - will pop over to amazon, try the previews and if i like them buy it.
So I accidentally end up on the US Amazon site, where the album is $3.99. Enter my details, go to purchase thinking that is an OK price. Sorry, album is not available in your geographical region. So i dutifully head over to Amazon UK. Rather shocked to discover it is £7.49 for the same mp3 album.
What the hell? With exchange rates that is well over DOUBLE the price. How the heck can they justify that?
In a quandry now. I quite fancy legally owning the album but completely on refusenik mode on paying twice what others are by virtue of IP address.
Previously was sit on the fence regarding whole greedy music industry exploiting people thing. Now I just hate them.
(for the curious Youtube Soundgarden on Later with Jools arrogant-pretentious-to55er Holland.)
