2m people download new Coldplay single

I was going to argue that this disproved the wisdom of crowds thing - but it turns out that the single was, in fact, free.

Even so, I feel there's little excuse for this sort of behaviour - still less for this:

"Some music fans paid up to £100 to download In Rainbows, the band’s seventh studio album, despite it being offered for nothing."

I don't even recognise my own species when I read stuff like that.
