No argument there. Most of the independents do indeed operate fairly ethically. That's why I was careful to say I was talknig about the big labels (the likes of Warners, EMI, etc). But the point is that it's these big labels who are driving all the heavy-handed stuff, like DRM, lobbying for the DMCA, etc. The level of their hypocracy is breathtaking.
Mind you, I can give you an example of an independent label who operate anything but ethically. Charly Records never pay a penny in royalties to Daevid Allen, and as far as he knows, nor to anyone else. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28858 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
