From Marginal Revolution:
65 cents per disc The complete Bach, 155 discs, the reviews I've read are quite positive on the recordings. I'm ordering my set tonight. Don't neglect the English Suite in A minor, or the Cantata "Wachtet auf, ruft uns die Stimme."But Alec van Gelder of the International Policy Network emails that this cannot possibly be true --
155 discs of all of Bach's work, for just over $100 - wow! But if all the "consumer" groups, library associations (librarians! They're never wrong!), and commonists are right, this can't be happening as technological protection measures - or DRM - are making the public domain inaccessible (http://www.eifl.net/services/ipdocs/pcda2_oral.pdf)? They couldn't possible be wrong, misguided, and dogmatic, could they?As the old joke says, "Well, that may be all right in practice, but it will never work in theory!"
