Maybe something has changed, but I don’t think I can buy Amazon mp3s in Canada?
That’s a tough one for me anyway. On one hand, owning music is something I value, but on the other hand Amazon is a company I cannot support in good conscience. I feel like the person in the two button meme!
And yet, in my own sort of hypocrisy, I currently use a Google Nexus phone flashed with Graphene. But… I still gave money to Google. Ethics are difficult. Something about no ethical consumption. 🙂
When asking my first open question I did expect you to say something about ethics of buying on Amazon. I didn’t expect, however, that Amazon doesn’t sell mp3 in Canada. I’m sorry about the licensing bullshit leading to this.
I avoid Amazon in everything bad they’re doing. But they do the right thing with mp3 music, and I support that in the hopes that more ethical companies will see the truth and start selling it too.

There are other websites selling music for downloading, like Qobuz
I think music is the one thing you can still buy digitally and get a non drm version.
Movies on the other hand….

That makes sense to me! Good behaviour should be rewarded.
