Of course they fucking did. Rob/Sean are in and out of Warp offices all
the time.

This makes sense if you're talking about some 'business deal' between a
major label and an act but the Warp/Ae relationship is a hell of a lot
closer than that. Rob and Steve from Warp happen to be good friends as
well as business partners with Ae. Believe what you cynically like about
Warp controlling everything (which legally, they do) but they will
nearly always consult their artists (and especially Ae) about issues
like this.

Possibly now (and quite a few people on IDM have access to this kind of
tech already - they don't have to own it - their workplace or university
or whatever might have the kit) but in about 6-12 months, this could
change so easily. If you could download any Ae/AFX/whoever track from
the net and burn a CD or whatever on cheap media over a super-fast
internet, everybody would do it. Really. It's starting now. That guy
putting an MP3 player in his car - thats just the start. And naturally
record labels who want to pay their artists and pay their employees
(from indies to majors), as well as the artists themselves, are getting
concerned about this.
And to back Chris up, he *has* always been the voice of the public.
