ah yes, google looking out for the little folks...

- Mountain_Skies 5y agoReminds me of when Garth Brooks was pushing for laws that would ban the resale of CDs. After receiving a lot of criticism, he said it wasn't to protect his album sales but to keep struggling artists with a small number of CD sales from having to compete with used CD stores. Of course the odds that any given used CD store would have your favorite obscure band's CD were quite low but they were guaranteed to have all of the Garth Brooks CDs.
