an interesting development in the world of downloading....
Okay, okay, I know some people might say 'enough with the B&S already'. But this ad is the current frontpage to Belleandsebastian.com...
Looks like a regular ad, doesn't it... but look at the bottom of the text: if you find our record online, have a listen; you'll want to buy it anyway...
This comes after the band's manager has been contributing to a thread on bowlie discussing the merits sof The Life Pursuit with people who really shouldn't have their hands on it yet...
Now, doesn't this seem like a much more sensible way to think about music downloading? Better than prosecuting 12 year olds?
Anyone think the record industry (at least starting with people like B&S) are going to be sensible with downloading as a promotional tool?
