The perfect sales model would be to make the CD out of crack itself. The consumer then has to keep buying it. Kind of like any Best Hits album really.

I bet the RIAA were trolling around the vast “series of tubes” that make up this great interweb of ours, and stumbled across cracked and pirated software/music/movies and made the only logical guess: CRACK => DRUGS!

The fingerprinting/photography thing at immigration is recent, thus I said started fingerprinting. Since I live in Tokyo as a resident alien I do keep up with what immigration is up to. KTHXBYE

Re: “40-bag of GQ”

Either that’s a whole lot of men’s fashion magazines, or I’m not nearly as worldly as I like to think I am.

I’m guessing the latter.

However, I do think free soy sauce with a CD is a fantastic idea!

J-chot, I don’t even want to get into this shit with you. I don’t watch Faux news. I know what fundamentalist christians are because I was born and raised in the south. KTHXBYE.

Downpressor, I didn’t get fingerprinted in Japan. I did get photographed, by a friend tho. Maybe you got some bad info?

This might just be the greatest sales promotion idea to come along in years! I’m gonna look into the costs of including a single round of ammunition with each of my records at retail; “Authentic JA AK47 round with purchase”

For the record, Japan has started fingerprinting and photographing foreign visitors & long term visa holders as well.

dead_red_eyes, I treat Cory Doctorow’s commentary on civil liberties with the same weight as I treat his assenine spew on copyrights.

dead red eyes watches fox news/cnn too much.

I refuse to believe that a nation that supports abortion can be considered “christian fundamentalist”

do you really even know what that means? because I don’t think anyone does.

And here, the headline made me think this was going to be about how to sell more hip-hop records … the answer: “go gangsta” of course.
