Whew! That’s quite a debate out there; although I enjoyed the read very much!

Did you all notice the title of this post? “Wot’s …Uh The Deal” – what a coincidence!

Dr Phang, digital only would have made the album inaccessible to a lot of people who are not part of the digital world.

They would certainly not be getting my custom if the only way for me to get it was from the internet. Surely it would be a false economy anyway if everyone had to then transfer their download to a CD so they could play it. Same amount of plastic.

I think that we agree on the core of the problem, Dr. Phang. Maybe we don’t on the ways to get our goals.

So what can we do? Accusing DG or this site and going on our life of waste? This is only to put our conscience at rest. We point our finger but we always think that we are not part of the problem. Others are creating it.

What I mean is that I am responsible, you are, we all are. So we should be humble. And think what can we do in our everyday life to change.

Would you accept to go back to the stone age? No. So we all are responsible.

I guess it all comes down to what you want from life, Piergiorgio. Electronics???

I think one version of Gdansk would have been enough. Environmentally, digital distribution far outweighs the “chemical” consequences of mass producing and distributing CD’s. DVD and CD players are also “reprocessed” in China etc.

“Smart” people know they are powerless to change what has been instigated by the people with all “The Power”. Every ounce of good we do for the environment is instantly absorbed by the “corporations”… The factories keep “puffing” and the people keep consuming…

Planting trees doesn’t offset the chemicals used to manufacture anything. It just equates to forests of dying trees in an ever growing sea of pollution… Robbing Peter to pay Paul…

Environmental trendies are probably the best thing to ever come from “trendy land”… I hope it’s a trend that becomes bigger than all the Gods, Jesus and Nationalism put together.

Mr Gore has a monstrosity of a house which is about 2 miles from where I live, as well. How about that private jet?

I really believe that the good that will be realized out of all of this will be the discovery of some REAL alternative sources of energy which will lessen the burden on the environment and individuals. There are many talented people working towards that and hopefully that will be the silver lining in this.

I certainly hope that DG doesn’t stop playing and creating art because it is negative to the environment. It seems that is what some here are suggesting and that would be a shame.
