Universal Music Group Admits To Selling Garbage Music

Big companies like to tout the benefits of a capitalist society when it works in their favor. Now that the value assigned to music is lower than Paula Poundstone's interest in sex the music industry has decided to kick and scream like my kids when they don't get what they want. Now they are going after people who are selling the promo CDs they sent to them. The best part is that part of their argument claims that even throwing away a promo CD is piracy. I'll admit that much of what has been sold for nearly $20 a CD is garbage but not allowing a user to throw away a promo CD they weren't raped to acquire is a little preposterous.
