Perhaps this is true for Woodenspoon, but HAB 1 & 2 trade hands for a lot
more than $8 these days. Everyone knew that demand for new Aphex material
was a lot greater than 500 or even 1000 copies. I know what the market for
this kind of material is because my IDM mailbox is clogged with auction
announcements for these records. I've already seen Mira Calix selling for
inflated prices, too. This limited-edition trainspotting marketing creates
a black market.

Actually, I guess I'll just continue to do what I've always done: buy the
good records you release, leave the bad ones on the shelf, and tape the
ones I have no other access to. I hope this is alright with you.

Perhaps, but any label that gets in this much of a bungle when the real
fans of their music make a few free copies of otherwise completely
unavailable material needs a bit of perspective. I SUPPORT your copyrights
and I would discourage anyone from bootlegging Chiastic Slide.
The day when anybody can download, in a few minutes, a perfect, pirated
digital copy of any record you release is just around the corner. Maybe
in the meantime your time would be best spent cultivating the loyalty and
support of the people who really understand and love your music instead of
playing copyright gestapo.
