Re: [mb-users] LP with digital download

I'm in agreement with Reosarevok on that one. The "Digital Copy" does not
actually come with the packaging. What you get is merely the right to
download the digital version of the album and thus through a download code.
I would rather see the download card/coupon being mentioned in the
annotation field.

On a side note, second-hand buyers don't get any use from those download
codes. Do they get partial releases? ;-)
