Simon Vrebos: "now I'm offended!" Alex Bond: "no offence meant Simon, sorry! twas just a lil joke. in a way. or was it serious? who knows? however, I certainly didn't mean to offend you."
Ok, I'm sorry too. I just got a bit carried away when you mentioned beans and kids and Carl Craig :-) Dan: "This is consumerism gone mad! Just because someone has an item you want doesn't mean that you have the automatic right to buy it. They might not want to sell it, and since it's their property it's entirely up to them. That doesn't justify a bootlegger stealing it from them. I'm going to sound like a proper old git now, but people these days seem to forget that you can't have everything. Some things in life just aren't available, and that's simply too bad, get over it!" Ok, you have a point there. And yes, it's definitely consumerism gone mad. That's what these records can do to you! But I don't think it's their (the artists) property. The rights to the material are probably owned by the Buzz boss, whoever that may be. It could be an old fart who doesn't give a damn anymore and is sure as hell not gonna bother sueing the bootleggers. Jodie Svagr: "Kinda pissed me off... it may seem to an outsider that the peeps from Detroit are rolling in Dough, but in reality they don't have cash flowing out of their pockets... Detroit's the slowest economy in the US... very poor actually... it's unfair to those in the Detroit techno industry for outsiders to get all pissy because their records aren't being repressed... the money might not be there..." Hey, I didn't say they are loaded. I meant that if they have the rights to their own music, they could be making more money then they do now.
