I don't get the "previously released" argument. Sure, releasing a brand new
album of original songs through Wal-Mart would have been even worse, but
the lack of demand among longtime fans doesn't change the fact that it's
still an exclusive deal with Wal-Mart. All it does is ease the consciences
of people like us so we can say "I don't need to buy it, so it's not my
problem".
