Point being that from time to time, these things do bubble to the surface and
escape. "Patience, young Grasshopper ... "

Who said anything about 20 copies? I was answering Gonzi's particular problem.
*He* wants the stuff.
I don't think it kills anybody to make a tape for somebody else with some rare
trax on it. But when you're talking 20 copies now you're talking "possession
with intent to sell", i.e. kinda like getting caught with a blunt as opposed
to an oh-zee :-)
Besides, if we start talking about 20 or more dups of anything, we're sliding
down the slippery slope towards the whole "Ethicality of mix tapes" argument,
and Lord knows I got enough of *that* from the SoCal-Raves list before I
hopped off ...

Well, "Philosophy of Sound of Machine" is available in my house :-)
Tell you what, buy me a roundtrip to London on 14th so I can catch the RDJ/MS
(Mighty Squarepusher) gig, and you can have it :-)
