So Wu-Tang Clan fans in Kazakhstan or Tanzania (or even every country other than the U.S.) will probably never be able to listen to this album...? I guess these will be the people who don't "understand" what Wu-Tang Clan is doing, while only the privileged ones "understand" the concept.

That's artificial shortage, not art (not talking about the music itself).

Wu-Tang's stunt is a reaction to your perspective on art — to reclaim some of the novelty eradicated by the commoditization of music.

My perspective on art is a reaction on the elitism of the art scene, so basically my comments are art.

Edit/addition: Honestly, I could have much more respect for this project, if Wu-Tang made it only accessible to homeless people, or only to prisoners, but effectively, they make it only accessible to the riches. I really do like the Wu-Tang Clan, but I am really not impressed by this stunt.
