Store conversations

Sometimes I overhear customer conversations.

OK, I don't do it on purpose, it just happens.

So, a 24 year-old was looking at some music, and his phone rings.

"Hey, did you know that Blindside has a new album?
Yeah, it's called The Great Depression. You do?
Wow, you're way ahead of me. Hey, can you hook me up?
OK, I'll be over in 10 minutes."

End of conversation.

This guy puts the CD down that he was about to buy, and leaves the store to go to his friend's house to claim his brand spankin' new illegal copy.

This is not a good situation... for us or for the artist. We lose. They lose.

And the person making the illegal copy, and in doing so breaking the law, sins. And they lose.

What else can I say?
