Having worked at a library before, I found this article on an unexpected outcome of the RIAA price fixing settlement really, sadly humorous.
There’s even some feedback from one of the libraries where I used to work:
The public library in Worcester, Mass., with a main library and two branches, received 150 copies of “Nastradamus,” a 1999 album by the rapper Nas, and 148 copies of “Entertainment Weekly’s Greatest Hits of 1971.”
“It’s an OK album with some decent songs on it, it’s just that we don’t need 148 of them,” Penny Johnson, head librarian of the Worcester library, said of the latter.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear this was straight from the Onion.
