Kid #2: So to recap, what you’ve got here is a system that makes people leave their house in order to download music at their house, and makes them go to a store to get music that they could get at the store, somewhere else.
Sony BMG dude: Er.
Come on – you know you don’t really have anything important to do. Go treat yourself (to the post, not one of their stupid cards).
