It's a bit like someone posting a link to a website where you can download a leaked version of the next Girls Aloud album before it's been officially released
but you cannot download a bike component, so it's not the same at all, and, to the extent that people hold off buying things due to next year's changes, surely this is a relatively small effect, essentially engineered by the manufacturers themselves by their production scheduling, and only a delay in spending rather than actual reduced turnover ?
[edit] ooops on 2001
