Depends on what you mean by "justified", which I reckon depends on
what standards you are applying. If I went to my local music venue of
choice (which happens to be the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall), and
realised I wasn't hearing the musicians at all, but a recording they'd
done earlier to save them the effort of performing the same thing over
and over, I'd feel quite "justified" in demanding a refund. I can hear
music through loudspeakers in my own home any time I want.
