Been awhile since I have checked up on this thread...glad to see it is still rolling!

Here are some recent vinyl acquisitions that I am seriously geeking on. The gamelan record below is simply one of the coolest things I have ever heard and the other three are quite fucking fantastic as well.

Fuck that. A polite letter explaining the position and asking that the post be removed is the adult way to handle something like that. Invoking the DMCA and threatening litigation is bullshit. Of course the have the right to behave this way, they have the right to behave like Warner Bros. or Sony BMG if they so choose. I would hope for better from what I have long considered a shining example of an ethically run record label.

BadComrade wrote:The whole "they can't even bother to keep it in print" thing is weak. There aren't that many releases on indie labels that stay in print constantly. It's better to build up a demand for an out of print record that it is to build up stock of the same record, and have trouble trying to sell 1000 copies of it. Just ask anyone here who made the mistake of having 1000 of their bands CDs pressed, and still has 850 in their bedroom closet...

Records are important. If they do not care enough about the music on this album to at least make some server space available and offer it for sale as a download they should step aside and let the community take care of it.

I'm not gonna put them up in this thread, though! I mean hell, Agostino from Uzeda posts on this board. Did you ever think to ask him if he'd be cool with you putting this stuff up?

Chris, it is possible that the guy who posted the Uzeda does not know that Agostino posts here. Hell, I didn't know that and I've been around for a while.

The T&G thing is interesting. Music is changing. The way music is consumed is changing. The way it is recorded is changing. The way it is distributed is changing. Everything about it is changing.

I'd say he should either make the stuff available or accept that people are going to get it some other way. I've never met the guy, but based on everything I have heard I would be very surprised if a threatening email with talk of the DMCA came directly from Mr. Rusk.

I would love to see him and the bands he has worked with continue to get paid, I have bought and will probably continue to buy a lot of stuff from this company. The fact is that some important music has been put out on this label. If the only choices are free downloads and the music not being available at all, I think everyone is better served by the music being available.
