It`s a toss up really.
some people prefer to buy more than data, and it is nice to have some physical product in your hands, but at the same time you can`t ignore the ipod generation (although sometimes I do wanna slap those trendy fashion following white earphone wearing buggers).
What techno needs, as was just discussed, is our own online distribution network, not just all the other download sites, as they are a mash up and don`t recognise the cult/specialist following of techno, some kind of online mp3/wav pay portal that represents techno.
