(313) final scratch (fwd)

[Thorin Teague]

Another good point, but being american and inebriated by consumer culture as 
I am, I like to own things. Having a physical piece of wax [sometimes] with 
a cute little picture on it, or even just a white label, is just fun to me. 
So I still break out in a rash when I think about selling off my vinyl. 
(Plus that I've sold so much cool vinyl that I've had to kick myself for.)

I think there's been an interesting economic impact, especially for those 
djs who don't or barely make an income from playing out.  

Final Scratch has allowed a lot of djs I know to sell off large chunks of 
their record collections so they could make money to buy more records, buy 
gear, press tracks or even simply pay rent. Selling all your records years 
ago was considered a sure sign of either retirment or insanity. With Final 
Scratch, you can make bank and still keep playing.
