Well, I'm going to run right out and buy this CD. Sure, I will only be able to listen to it in the antique CD player in the basement, but that's OK. I mean, who buys a CD they can listen to in the car, on the portable CD?MP3 player for walks, on the computer while I surf, or even in the dvd player in the kitchen, living room, schoolroom or bedrooms?

Thank you Coldplay. You just made my mother happy...I will now have to clean the basement just to listen to your CD. (She always said rock and roll will be the ruination of us all!)

Maybe this is just a gag by Coldplay.
Maybe the "rules" are tongue-in-cheek.
