CD WOW 1, BPI 0: CD Wow have found an EU source of records which has allowed them to tell the BPI to fuck off and reduce their prices back to GBP8-99 - and there's nothing the BPI can do about it. In a related fit of spite, the BPI have won a legal ruling stopping CD Wow from telling customers the original price increase was because the BPI had told it to. Now, we know the law does odd things at times - locking Rita up, producing The Hutton Report - but this really does bugger belief - why else had CD Wow been forced to stick its prices up? Because small children might have died otherwise? Because they'd prepared the HTML pages with more expensive prices? CD Wow might be prevented from saying it, but nobody else is, I presume: the BPI forced the company to increase its prices. (Only now they've been able to get them back down again. Hurrah!)
