I second this. Caipirinha has been able to take risks that other lables
simply can't do. Also, it's great to see someone who has the ablilty to
translate creative ideas across numerous media (film, music, clothing,
etc.).
Whatever anyone thinks of the library of music, the bottom line is that
lables that take risks are worth supporting. It's not very often that you
see a lable that's willing to take chances like that.
As far as where the money comes from, it no one's business but the label
owner's. If you don't like it, go start your own.
