Seven 'producers' up there clutching statuettes for Best Picture, with no mention of the writer, the director, or the performers.<br /><br />There is a way to circumvent these bastards. I was shocked a while back when I clicked into the Naxos Music Library and found that almost the entire EMI catalogue had been added, back to the 1920s. And ICA Classics is in there as well. I've given this tip before, but it's well-worth repeating for new readers. You can link to the NML free by going to tso.ca -- the site of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra -- signing up for their very occasional enewsletter, and then signing up for 'Beethoven on Demand', which is, in fact, the NML: I think now about 75 000 full-length CDs and sets thereof on about 500 labels, all ready to be streamed with a couple of clicks.
