What music fans can do to show their support for the indie label community, and help them survive this disaster is to buy a digital download of an album from any one of the digital retailers in the UK, as well as going to their local record store while stocks last.

This way, the labels will be able to remanufacture their CD's and vinyl more quickly, to resupply the record shops who are also affected by the riots.

Strange, one would think the insurance company would cover the losses, no?

sure it will.. i mean the building burned down.. i can't think how the insurance would not be in charge for this..

article you posted doesn't say anything about that tho.. it's tho a good idea to support the labels anyway.. maybe it'll take long until they see money..

i dont think the riots are protests, its plain and simple dumb poor people who dont have a future, so they demolish things and get angry at everybody.
if thats right or wrong is not the question for me.

the question is, why are there so many poor uneducated people that events like that can happen.

if you spend money on interest for debt and make social cuts, less jobs cause of improvements in productivity (rationalization), cuts and privatization in the education sector

i guess riots are what you get.

This is it.

Nobody (well, nobody of sane mind) is really trying to argue that it's a political protest on the part of the rioters. It is however a political consequence at least partly.

The people ranting about the "mindless hooligans bringing our country/communities down" are missing the point, and quite possibly the same ones who voted in the Tory government who alongside the bankers etc. are the ones who're really bringing the country and communities down.

How does burning one's own neighborhood down help anything?
I'm sure that many people lost everything they ever worked for in this riot.
rioters = wankers
