The record companies are forcing cd wow to put prices up from this sunday because they buy cds from the far east and sell them for £7-8 and apparently its not fair.
Surely this will result in more piracy and doesnt the WORLD wide web mean that we can buy things from anywhere?
There are ways round it though, like buying from Hong Kong CD sites!
They are also going after play.com
Wankers!

Capitalists. They'd make a dog laugh.
Market forces! Supply and demand! Free enterprise!
What do you mean, consumers are exercising their right to buy cheaper CDs???
Controls! Laws! Tarrifs!

Glenn, You've nailed it one. It's a fucking disgrace and puts to bed EVERY single lie that capitalists make about a free economy and market forces. What they actually want are closed shops, monopolies and no freedom of genuine enterprise. Nothing better exposes the big lie of global capitalism than this! Smudge

Hmm. I saw that they went after Play.com before Christmas due to them 'exploiting a Tax loophole'. Big bullys.

CD WOW! - An Important Announcement
Dear Member,
The UK Major record companies through their mouth piece the BPI* have unfortunately restricted the UK and Irish consumers right to enjoy the freedom of the World Wide Web.
As from this weekend, any CD ordered for delivery to the UK and Ireland will incur a surcharge as we are only able to deliver CDs manufactured within the EU (more expensive).
Delivery to the rest of the world will not be affected.
You only have a few days left - so order now!
Be quick to make the best of our current low low prices while you can still exercise your right to choose.
We will of course still be supplying UK and Irish customers but as of Sunday 25th January 2004 a surcharge of £2.00 (3.00 Euros) per CD will apply.
Please Note - our prices of DVDs and Games will remain unaffected
Warmest Regards, CD WOW!

Future Entertainment www.futureent.com are worth a look too, they do most CDs and DVDs at roughly the same prices as CD-WOW and also have a good selection of "blueys" (or so I've heard ;D) Harry
