Actually it was a dick move on your part when he said he had other things more important and had to get cheaper elsewhere and you try and throw the guilt trip on him about labels failing. I am in the same boat as him so I thought your reaction was pretty shitty and then you tell him to relax.

Some of us don't have the option to buy all the music we want from wherever we want. I always try and find it from the cheapest place I can too. I would love to buy directly from the artist or label but if I can save 4 or 5 dollars here and there that's an extra CD I can get, that I might have had second thoughts, so there are benefits for going cheaper and buying more CDs
