This makes me sad and hopping mad at the same time! Barnes and Noble was the first store that I geo jumped with at the time it was the easiest place to do it(before they added in IP checking) Due to that reason I purchased a lot of books with them. I then discovered how to do it at other places but B&N was always my first so close to the heart and now well.. Now I want to rally up the towns people and pitchforks !!
When are the content suppliers going to learn that the harder you make it to legitimately acquire media the more likely people will source it from 'other' places. They've had plenty of past examples to learn from music, videos etc *headshake* I had better get off this rant as I'm just wasting my breathe they're too busy building fences to realise that the majority just want to give them their money
I do implore everyone in this thread to send an email, facebook, or tweet or better still all 3 while it won't change their minds(too hard what with them being buried in the sand) but at the very least they will know exactly how much they've ticked off their customers.
RIP B&N
