his home in Ohio, the USA, now sells 500,000 CDs a year and has made him into a millionaire (百万富翁) at
the age of 24.
"I could see that this was the future of shopping," says Stirling. "Why should you pay $15 for a CD and
spend the time and the money getting into the store and parking your car? You can have the same CD for half

in 24 hours!"
