Nice cartoon in the @theguardian.com today by Madeline Horwath. Which one are you? I'm #2.

So @bandcamp.com upped the default price of a single to $1.50 (plus VAT) - 70% more than other online stores. I'm sure this made sense to the accountants, but consequently I've bought 50% less singles from them in the last 6 months as a consequence, & I buy a lot.
