They do not know, in this day of pay-per-track that they should be getting two songs for the price of the one. It’s the law. Or should be. I am sure that asshats at corporate chuckle every time us idiots order a song, knowing that they are shortchanging us. Yep, we used to get two songs. Like I said, it was the law. Labels and distributors, though, write their own laws these days. I know I’m a dinosaur, but anything less than two is a fuck you to us music junkies. Well, fuck them.
