Also, now that we've opened this whole can of worms, what if I have the mail
guy at my company run my outgoing package through the postage meter?  I
mean, strictly it isn't advertising or commercial, but I would be using
stolen postage from a corporate giant to spread etree music.  Surely that is
very, very wrong.

What I plan on doing, just to be sure I adhere to every band's policy, is
every time I do a trade or a B&P, I'm going to jab myself in the eye with a
pencil.  Because you can never be too careful, and that way, I figure, I'm
covered.
