This is *not* only about the character's character. Downloading music from
the internet definately countradicts Barks. Barks-style stories should IMO
take place in the mid-1950's +/- a decade. It's in that aspect this G. Blum
IMO seems to fail in showing respect for Barks. When I say "seems to" it's
because Egmont may have told him to do so.
