Clearly there is a buyer for this but it is based on scarcity - it is
market systems which often create artificially low supplies in order to
generate high prices. Clearly this isnt happening here and I dont have a
problem with auctions but I dont think IDM has that many ramifications for
social systems based thinking. Arent we all just a bunch of individualist
apathetics, please somebody, contradict me!
I had enough when Underworld lent some sounds to the ad for the Daily
