On the DRM pricing, as with the USA, $37 for a digital copy of a 15 track album I can buy at the Warehouse for $24, rip to my heart's content at whatever bitrate I want, peruse the sleeve, and then sell at Groovy later on.......
No - if you're buying the album, it will (it bloody better be) still $NZ17.99, which is significantly cheaper than buying a disc at retail in most cases. It's individual tracks they're stinging us on.

Put the band in a car!

So Steven, is that a slur on Joe Karam, for being Lebanese and believing the Dunedin police used to be corrupt? Or is it a slur on Lebanese more generally?
Or is a slur on anyone who owns a copy of the magazine that has been so vigorously discussed in this forum?
Are you serious?
Malcolm, I am having cause to doubt your good faith.

Spose it's a cut above watching chicken movies.
Steady. My kids loved those Ardman films.

mmmmm... I pop into this site after a day in the sun, and there are multi directional flame wars brewing and wild discussions going on about chicken f**king.
Makes the travel advisories to Bali seem rather tame and unnecessary....
I just had a flash memory of that NME interview where Lee Scratch Perry claimed to have seen Chris Blackwell drink the blood of a freshly-killed chicken. I probably need to ease up.

I feel a sense of deja vu ... again.
But I if I say anything about it, I feel that RB will flame me. Again.
Hi Malcolm. Got a point to make on the topic? I would appreciate it.

So you have done another nifty Craig defence, well done, but I repeat I never snarked im, argued with him or otherwise addressed im directly until he got snide to me, and then I kept it above board, you'd do him more favours if you let him stand for himself. I reckon Craig is inflated and thinks he bullet proof now, and who wouldn't when you always compensate for his bad behaviour?
I've said sorry to you; please don't make me have to go back through several pages of the thread and try and work it out (and by that please don't take the impression that I'm dismissing what you say). I've publicly asked Craig to tone it down.
The comment about evidence wasn't a "Craig defence", it was a response to Che. I honestly think that, sadly, Wishart does alright. FFS, even 'Uncensored' is a commercial success.

i can't see what's particularly conspiratorial about suggesting that a fundamentalist might get some additional funding for a pro-fundamentalist magazine.
It's just that there's no evidence that that's the case, and on that basis it's speculation. The sad fact is that Wishart does well enough to support the kind of operation he runs. He's not employing name writers and guys like him don't have the swimming pools and fancy cars.

RB, so Craig get's to decide what I want to say here or not, calling conspiracy on me sucks, then going all potty mouth further sucks. I'm happy to call him on his tone and get banned for it, I think the guy has issues with those with whom he disagrees with and if I laid into him with the sort of snark he laid into me, would I be covered, crystal my ass.
And this ain't THEATRE! this is Craig shutting another commentet down, like he did with Deborah and I'm arrogant enough too think that you can't call me on ever snarking Craig.All right. I'm sorry. As I said, I can see what you're both saying. And it somewhat mystifies me that you can't both just disagree.
Craig, do me a favour and be less aggressive in defense of your position. I think it's possible to do so without getting up people's noses like this.

And while I'm still on me horse Craig, don't condescend to me with "The Readers Digest" version of events, I've always tried to give you the benefit of the doubt for RB's sake really, don't let me down. I think you may have to haul one of your special apologies out because I have never sniped at you and you seem to be sniping me, quite simply, I don't like your tone.
Ooh ... my first theatre call. Look, I can see what you're both saying, and also the spiral into which this is descending. Nuff, please.
For my part, I actually don't think Investigate requires additional funding. 60,000 readers and a high cover price is just fine for the sort of budget enterprise Wishart is running. Investigate gets ads because it has readers and is on glossy paper. Media buyers aren't all that fussy.
