Yeah, so if you've, like, heard of a mainstream major label release this year, you can probably get it for $5 from the Amazon mp3 store, which just about pistol whips iTunes based on the facts that a) there is no DRM, b) its mp3s are 256 kbs vs. 192 kbs AAC files for iTunes, and c) it usually has some pretty insane deals, whereas iTunes occasionally has records you bought two years ago when they came out for $7.99 instead of $9.99. (In other words, Amazon gives you actual incentives to pay for music rather than just stealing it.) So, yeah, I just bought Ne-Yo's Year of the Gentleman because it was on sale, which makes me just about the biggest pussy ever. Ever.
