Is still a fucking scumbag, but is doing some good right now.

Wal Mart is fighting it out with the RIAA. Walmart's sales of music account for two percent of their sales, but a huge chunk of the record industry's total sales. This is probably because Wal Mart drove all the little record stores out of business. RIAA is shitting bricks over the possibility that if they don't lower prices Walmart will just stop selling their products.

I love to see groups I hate at each other's throats.

When did I say I was fine with Walmart? I hate both groups, but if the RIAA's price fixing can be stopped by Walmart it will likely lower prices in other record stores and online. I still want Walmart to learn how to treat employees with dignity or at least shut down and have it's major stock holders executed for crimes against humanity.

Good on Wal*Mart. They know that they'll be able to sell more if it's cheaper, and, that if it's cheaper, piracy will become less of an issue.
