- wmf 14y agoAn interesting point. If you buy the CD, rip it, and upload the MP3 to Amazon, then it costs Amazon to store that. With matching Amazon has to pay the label for another license for that song, but they can just symlink it into your locker instead of storing another copy. Which is cheaper? Amazon has probably done the math.
