The album is now freely available to download from the web, after an estimated three million copies of the CD were distributed with the Mail on Sunday.There are CDs on auction sale at eBay too.
The sale of the album in UK never mattered,as the proposal to give free copies along with mail had shut the option completly.But it was expected to sell normally elsewhere.But,now who is going to buy the album when u can get the same downloaded freely?This proposal to give free copies took the music industry by shock and are reacting in the only obvious way,negatively.With this sort of marketing,you reach more people,but where is the value for your music?
