Pink Floyd wins court fight on downloads | Media Maverick - CNET News
I'm not quite sure what to think here. I get the concept of artistic integrity and that the album is one work meant to be consumed as a whole.
However i'm not sure it's really about that and think it's more a money thing where they are afraid of cannibalized record sales.
If it truly was about artistic integrity, they would't allow those songs to be on best of or greatest hits compilations either.
Regardless, this is a very big deal with possibly wide repercussions.
Edit: I think the one direct thing it will cause is more of what they most fear which is pirating. If the only way someone could get the song "money" legitimately is to buy Dark side, they might just go looking elsewhere
