i would say that maybe the mere fact that these releases are bound to take so much value is what makes them interesting to buy, & thus interesting to produce for the label, because they know they're going to sell them all -- & just that is probably doing a lot more good (financially-wise) to skam/mas than whatever profit they could make from 2nd hand selling if they could do something like that. -- david turgeon at http://www.notype.com
