Craig @ 107: if you're right about their online retail ambitions, this news is even more pathetic/hilarious. We've all heard the stories about how Amazon's success is driven by the long tail, and here are A&R trying to *limit* their range? The mind boggles.

(It's also amusing that they haven't offered any of the things that make Amazon interesting, like big discounts or free domestic postage. Half the time it's still cheaper to order internationally and swallow the shipping than to buy online locally.)

Just a note that there's a very useful annotated version of the first Macauley speech up at Kuro5hin. Most of Macauley's references (to Hayley, Tonson etc.) went right over my head -- as I imagine they would most readers' -- and the speech is even more relevant when they're understood.

It reminds me of Kuro5hin's "Confusingly titled meta story" from 2001.
