But why are there two of the same t-shirts being offered? And they are not showing the best one that was made. In Providence, Bill said they would all be available online and so I didn't buy the shirt then.

Are you talking about the newest ones out because they aren't being offered as a free item. There is a free item department on HQ. That's what you pick from if you pre-order the CD.

Ok now that is not a smart move! Three different bonus tracks with three different outlets. Angry

Most artists are doing things like that these days.

I think the industry is trying to figure out ways to recoup lost revenue caused by illegal downloading. Maybe? ??

I totally understand the bonus track concept. But 3 different tracks with 3 different outlets is just wrong IMO. It is:

a) Either forcing your fans to purchase 3 CDs or
b) Tempting them to illegally share tracks they haven't purchased.

Sorry to be negative about it. But 3 different deals with 3 outlets is just raking your fans over the coals. Don't get me wrong, I will most likely get them all...but there are others who simply can't do that.

Apparently this is 'unoffical' official news. I kind of hope this tidbit is not true.

Totally agree. But when I complain about it I am whining. So I'm glad you've said it. Wink

I had heard that this was a possibility for couple of weeks now, we've been talking about it over on NESP. I do think it might be true.
