<BR>I coined another good term for it, though usually used be me in conjuction with movie theater food prices and the price of water at shows ($4.50 for a pint of poland springs at the roxy in boston, I handed it back and told them "I'll drink your f*cking tap water, thank you") But also a very good description of the $17.00 Bile CD I just bought. That term is "FINANCIAL SODOMY"......I think record companies get off on this..as in (oooh..look, we can screw them and they can't do anything about it...wait, now they can, rev up the lawsuit machine and try to keep a lid on it)
