[Ham-Computers] Is Amazon.com a "good guy"

[martin glazer]

Why don't you try and do a google search for it?

Sorry, I have no idea where else I could have asked this question. To

I wanted to buy my wife a replacement CD for a tape that she loves dearly 
and "wore out" years ago (Best of Andrae Crouch & Deciples). This tape was 
in such bad shape I couldn't retrieve it with the computer (released in 
'93). Anyway, both the local Bible Bookstore and one of the local big chain 
music stores said it was "out of print" and no longer available.

So I checked amazon.com and they show it as still available with 29 copies 
in stock, delivery time 3-4 weeks. I ordered it as the Price was reasonable 
too!

HOWEVER, I got to wondering. IF it's in stock, why the 3-4 week waiting 
time? Is "Ching-Li" going to burn a copy in his garage somewhere in China 
and send it over by slow boat (you hear so much about Music Piracy in China 
now days), or is that just Amazon's normal shipping time if you don't pay 
for 2 day air etc?

In any case, it's too late this time, but I may be looking for more special 
music in the future and don't want to support the black market!
