Because,

At Amoeba records in San Francisco, I found a copy of Maxinquaye, the debut album by Tricky which I came very close to buying on eMusic several times, in a clearance bin for $1.95.  I grabbed it like a cat snatching a toy.  I carried it around for a few minutes until I came to the realization that there is no longer any reason for me to own a physical copy of this album. 

With the current technology I can legally enjoy all the same tracks in such a way that the album will take up no space in my home (and since returning home, I have several times.  I should note, this album is a fucking masterpiece).  Not only that, but I can access all the re-mastered tracks along with the bonus cuts on the new deluxe version of the album.  Although it violated my deeply seeded music fan instincts, I returned this album to the clearance shelf and walked away.

Everything is changing.
