@ Nobrainer i watched you video from the US. anyway small music stores need to stop blaming the file shareies and blame Ipod Zune or any other MP3 player. that a good 60 percent of the world now posses.
CD are done for its over for a physical copies of music.
the soner they relize this the better.
i also noticed in that video that most of the people in that store were old people;).
They make this sound like this poor guy was a terriosit and has no legal basis to be kept like this get him on charges or drop the whole thing and let him go it should be part of the constitution.
