Not to mention that the 'kid' probably bought a t-shirt and a tourbook, adding more to Gord Downies bank account. I wonder if Gord Downie is aware of that?

Same goes for Metallica, or any other band that insults it's consumer base by not being able to realize they should get paid for performing, and direct sales of CD's. Hey, I know, put the MP3's and maybe the video's on your CD's and you'll have some unique content that perhaps people will WANT to buy? Get over yourselves, musicians. Many bands - the hip included - are doing just FINE even though people are LEGALLY downloading their music. Yes LEGALLY. This is just more LIES from big Media and I think someone needs to take them to court, or at least complain to the CRTC about their false advertising/propagandizing. It's crap, pure and simple. They should just shut up and play. Well, I will no longer buy the Hip’s albums, wether they are good or not.
