[JBC] CD duplication is not ok
Date: Mon 23 Aug 1999 - 10:59:17 PDT
so, the issue is not that "making copies of CDs takes nothing
out of pat's pocket"..
the issue is that this desire to fill-out our CD collections does nothing to attempt to PUT money into the artist's pocket.
admit it or not, but by distributing the music in any manner not approved in contract by the artist, you are ripping him off.
i have spoken with pat on this in the past. we were on the topic of MP3 trading, and the above basically reflects his line - without a protocol in place to provide for artist payments, then he considers the process bootlegging and will act to cease it. this is his livelihood, plain and simple.
that known - please refrain from discussing the duplication and distribution of CDs on this mailing list.
sorry to be a hardass.
