Indie music stores aren't happy with the Starbucks/Alanis deal

Starbucks has worked out an exclusive if controversial deal with Alanis Morissette's label, Maverick Records, to carry Morisette's CD for six weeks before it's available in other stores. "Your Alanis plan is not very cool," the president of the Coalition of Independent Music Stores, Don VanCleave, wrote in a vitriolic open letter to Starbucks. "Securing yourself a six week window of exclusivity on the Alanis before everyone else gets it is only gonna make you a moving target." (Village Voice)
