    Anyone who's ever visited Greece knows nobody buys music there. For 2euro an hour you can visit an internet cafe, get the password from the guy at the front desk, and connect to the cafes local file server. Last time I was there they had something like 20TB+ worth of movies, music, tv shows, games, and porn.

    They decided that since people download stuff anyways, might as well save on the bandwidth and store it locally. Any time you download a file its mirrored in the cafes file server, so others can copy it without having to re-download.

    And if you dont go that route, you can buy bootleg copies from any number of African immigrants on the street for just a few euro. Many times for better quality than available in stores for retail price.
