i'm curious as to what you feel is too much work,
buying from underworldlive.com ? ( or ebay -
which they've used in the past before the store) . i can think of only
one japanese iTunes specific release... what other hard to get
outlets are there?

as for BWS goes, it was ONLY a release at a japanese convention,
so technically it never got released as a full product online..
then they had extra copies and information was made available
that it was on the online store... one product, one step order..

conjecture here - but as far as copyrights and the artists intent (selling
the book with the cd) - there was never a plan or contingency to make
this a digital download or widely available..

so technically, it was available in a limited format.. and you have
to have checked the board/site to know it was there..

the same with all the live here now series, they have been long out
of print (but there were digital versions available) .. and the remaining
physical versions have shown up again - once more copyrights and
other issues come into play here (along with special japanese releases)..

yeah, ok, maybe if you don't check the board weekly or monthly you
might miss out on these offers....

but it's not that hard to set up the posts/threads to inform you that
a new post was added to the 'releases', and underworld does send
out emails informing about new material..

its up to you how you want to respond / enquire / purchase the
material.. i think they've been doing a great job on letting fans
know about all the different material they're making available..

later
