More material for people who call Napster users pirates. Here’s a story about no-fooling music pirates — bootleggers who sell duplicated CDs for profit. When I was in Costa Rica last month, I stopped into a copy shop in San Jose. It was full of hepster teenagers holding onto CD liner-notes, getting them color photocopied. These kids bought one copy of several top-selling CDs, burned duplicates (cheap), then copied the liner-notes (expensive) whenever they sold a dupe and put together another jewel-case/dupe/liner-note set. It was the ultimate just-in-time inventory system. Link Discuss (Thanks, Amanda!)
