Why should they not run their side of things however they feel like. As Pippi Långstrump might say: "Är det inte ett fritt land?" ("Isn't it a free country?").  On the other hand, as a fan -- as a person who _likes_ to see new creations -- it's really not even a conscious choice for me what kind of approach I _prefer_ (or would prefer) ... :)

CD postal deliveries are effectively impossible in Colombia, so I need to go digital ... but I want to go as snobbishly upscale digital as possible. :)    (Still, iTunes would be better than niTunes .... ;)
