I think it's safe to say that most of the people on this list have donated
more than enough to both warp and richard and by passing one bootleg tape
around to twenty or so people would cause either richard or warp to go broke.
Although I do agree that the tape, *in theory*, should only contain out of
print stuff, but I doubt most of the people who are getting this tape are
doing it for On, Donkey Rhubarb, or Quoth, but rather the out of print stuff
that is no longer making Warp, Rephlex, or Richard any money at the moment.
Instead this money is going to record store owners and greedy trainspotters
(keyword here: GREEDY) who want to make a profit (none of which results in
the company or the artist in getting additional money) off of something that
only cost them 7 bucks to get new, and turning it around and selling it for
75 used.
just my 2 cents.
