BTW, here in Brazil it's common to find people selling pirate CDs and DVDs in the streets. It provides sustenance for poor folks who find it easier to just live like lazy bums selling stolen goods instead of studying hard to try to change their lives, but I digress.
The point is: I never ever saw classical music recordings in these open shops. I also don't see classic movies, Casablanca, Jean Renoir, Hitchcock etc. And of course, no Shakespeare and such. There's plenty of metal noise, hip-rap and other urban screams from lowlifes, and plenty of hollywood blockbull and porn. It's part of our industrialized society to crave for trash.
Which is too bad because classical music recordings are really expensive.
