Isn’t the Light OK?

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.
