gonzi sez this whole concept makes no sense to me. what are the consequences from selling cds or records that are export banned? jail time? steep fines? the whole thing seem ridiculous - are you gonna throw people in the clink for wanting to listen to a mikey p cd. funk that. please explain - why would anyone go along with this stupidity? well gonzi, my distributors can gert sued big time. no one would really bother me, but the big distributors get hassled. if for example if virgin/astralweks says dont bring it in and you do, they can make sure you never see another copy of an import virgin release again. not to mention hefty fine. i think it sucks too, but its all about cash on the major labels end. the artists go along with this when they sign to these big labels. they know all kinds of things can happen that can keep their music out of the hands of people that really want it. if someone brings it in and risks the fines, no way will i turn it down though pj -- pj>the exalted grand puba of mail order modern music 2905 o'donnell st, baltimore, md. 21224 fon: 410.675.2172 fax: 410.675.2373 www.modernmusic.com

why not ask multsanta "the grandpooba" of illegal mixtapes for a dubbed copy? or is he, like most of this group still only talking about AFX? anyone interested in buying my copy of "my little beautiful" send e-mail, and no i'm not interested in making a profit off it, first come first served. it just ain't as good as the album.
