If someone wants to sell me something in which Alizée and her collaborators have proprietary rights, they have to sell it through a retailer I trust to respect those rights.
This includes big stores like Virgin and Amazon and a small store like http://institubes.myshopify.com/ the retailing arm of Institubes, Alizée's current musical home. But I would NOT trust another source lacking both an intimate relationship with Alizée and a multimillion-dollar weekly business reputation to preserve.
So if someone wants to sell me something like <i>ALIZEE L'UNIQUE REFERENTIEL</i>, they should get the Institubes store to carry inventory. |
I think the same too. I would buy something like this if it is from an official store, something that helps Alizee.
