I believe you're on to something with the money theory. It made me mad to see a collection of great songs specifically for a begginer like me. I was raised on the sound of the seventies. The seventies and late sixties were the revolution of music that I choose to acknowledge as critical.We had bands like BTO, CCR, and Ten years after.
On the other hand through posts like this and The OLGA as Dan Smith tells you to try, a company cannot stop the flow of music. They did intimidate Dan. Think about that the next time you buy something with their name on it. With peer to peer file sharing, download and burn, and save some money.
