And I will answer those questions.
First, as I said before I know this, people are not forced to buy something. But this is exactly the point of capitalism that I personally don't like. I would never "take advantage" of persons in this way, and I don't like people that do.
And if this music and those hamburgers are so good, and everybody wanted to have it, stop advertising them!
Also economically this is a major theme. If people would not buyt Britney Spears" record they would have money left to buy other records or not. Apparantly record comapnies find it worthwhile to spend a lot on advertisements to lure more people in buying their records. Then to my situation. I would spend a certain amount of money on music per year. If I buy "say" 6 CD's my money is finished, I will anyway not buy anything anymore. What is then so bad about me listening to some other music on my ipod. I mean it is not that they have to do anything for it, it does not cost them extra work, and if you think about it it doesn's cost them any money.

It seems like you'd want to suppress it. And one way to do that would be to, not only sell it, but to sell it for such an exorbitant sum that even a star struck teeny-booper will refuse to buy it.
I don't think selling it should be a crime!?!? And I don't want to supress anything, I just don't want to be bothered by the worlds super-rich because they need a 7th house. If they can live with the knowledge that they squeeze all the money out of 12 year olds pockets, that is their own decision, but stop bothering us.
