Correct, but what you seem to imply (that approx 3/4 of tubular.net readers are morally deficient) is naive and pompous.
As many have tried to point out, the world has changed. The old model of big corporate businesses thinking they have complete control over the distribution of new releases such as MOTS just is not the case any more. Pumping out "promotional copies" of a CD 5 months before it ends up being actually released and expecting no one to distribute copies of it is stupidity at its extreme.
MOTS is complete as far as I know. If I could buy a copy, I would. The record company know they have made available a copy of the CD and that is now available to buy on ebay and also distributed and available on the net. Why is it not available in any way for me to buy? I love Mikes music. I buy his works and will continue to do so but I dispair at the actions of the music industry at times. |
Wow! You are very good at calling people names.
First, you tell me I'm naive and pompous. Then you say that 3/4 of this forum is morally deficient (your words, not mine). And finally, that the record labels are stupid.
I am simply stating my opinion. Perhaps it should have been worded --- "Just because I can download the CD, doesn't mean that I should".
For whatever reason, Mike and his record label have agreed to delay the release of MOTS. I will abide by his/their decision.
It's posts like yours that force me back into lurker mode.
