Pink Floyd wins!

Pink Floyd doesn’t want you to download their music track by track – only purchase the entire record. Now the courts say you can’t!!
Here is what I’ve read:

Britain's High Court has ordered EMI to stop selling a la carte downloads of Pink Floyd tracks rather than as part of their albums, says the Wall Street Journal in a news alert. Judge Andrew Morritt backed the band’s contention that its contract prohibited selling unbundled tracks, explaining that the contract protected "the artistic integrity of the albums." By extension, the ruling will likely have the crew at the iTunes Store jumping through hoops in an effort to comply

iTunes LP Dead?

Looks like the iTunes LP format just never did catch on. It seemed so promising! Nothing digital will ever ‘feel’ as good as holding the large sized record in your hand!
Here is what I’ve read:

“The iTunes LP format has totally fizzled in the six months since its launch, GigaOM reports. Industry sources told writer Paul Bonanos that the vast majority of iTunes shoppers have no idea the format even exists, and only 29 iTunes LPs are currently on sale—including the dozen that were available at launch. Not surprisingly, labels are finding it difficult to justify peeling as much as $60k out of an album’s marketing budget to produce an iTunes LP. The bonus materials may interest super-fans, but they aren’t generating much buzz among mainstream consumers, and don’t appear to be stimulating album sales whatsoever, Bonanos notes. “It’s something most people will look at once,” one person told him.”
