I think the fact is that it's stupid to go on IDM, where even Richard James
is a member and then say you are going to burn a limited amount of copies of
a promo record to sell/give away.. Whether or not it's illegal it's really
stupid. Of course Greg is angry about this, you just said to his face that
you are gonna make copies of the ae radiomix, which was released by Warp,
the label that he works for.. shit I'd be pissed too! sheesh..
I believe Lazlo is right about the laws, but that still doesn't mean you
should go up in the label's face and say you're making copies. If you want
to make a bootleg just keep it to yourself, don't go broadcasting it to the
public, which is what IDM is.
and from what I've heard about RadioMix, I agree with Greg, it's not really
something that would do too good on the massmarket. I think it's possible to
compare with the words&music promo? of course that's AFX, but do you really
think the masses would buy a CD that has only 3 tracks on it, and the
majority of it is just interviews (even if it is with AFX) ?
