in the middle of a paradigm shift

Indeed, I heard yesterday on the radio that Coldplay's album, Viva la Vida, had sold as 2M CDs and in 500K paid downloads. Pretty good for a medium that has been heralded as the end of music, books, movies, et al. It would be interesting to see the breakdown in the cost of manufacturing, inventory, shipping, selling, etc., physical CDs, as opposed to downloading bits.

Ceci n'est pas un seing.
