And this is a story why?

OK, first - thousands of fans signed a petition. Big whoop. The
Dead have millions and millions of fans, worldwide. What
percentage then actually "revolted" - and "revolted" is a pretty
strong word, journalistically speaking. How many people "revolt"
against McDonald's every day, when they get the wrong shake
flavor at the drive thru or want a different happy meal.

Second - I like the Dead, so don't flame me Deadheads. And I
like music downloads. But GET A LIFE. How many hundreds of
versions of Franklin's Tower do you need? Aren't there like a
gazillion pieces of music out there already? Tape / CD trees,
BitTorrent downloads, itunes music store downloads, dedicated
programs on XM, the list goes on and on.

Try some new music for once.
