Well, it seems to me that a 'reviewer' needs stuff to review and one might
prize being on a promo list of a label which carries the ilk of Ae. It
would not seem like too much of a logical leap to assume that any such
option would probably delete your address from the promo list F-A-S-T. It's
a matter of counting the cost. Merely having a copy or uploading such to a
filesharing network hardly seems like sufficient reward for losing a
valuable promo connection if you are in the biz of reviewing.
And record companies DO watch ebay for advance copies which are posted
before release. I bought something from a store in a used bin and put it up
a few weeks back which turned out to be 3 weeks ahead of the release date.
Instinct saw it, complained to ebay and the auction was shut down and I was
warned that relisting would result in suspension. My guess is that this
promo on ebay is only up there (still, I mean - if it is as of yet) because
it is a cassette. Assuming it's a Warp release, they have not been
historically amenable to incidents of this nature. As I wrote to someone
else offlist, it's like ice on a lake in Winter after a long warm
spell...just because you see other people on it is no certainty that it
will hold you up. I would extend that simile to the aforementioned instance
of returning a tampered player to the company, except that I think I would
change the season to Summer and suggest that the observer may be
experimenting with psychotropic substances :-)
