Point being don't be to anal. > each and every post on this topic has misconstrued my point -- if it is _your_ intent to piggyback _your_ commercial message for _your_ economic gain on the back of some taper-friendly band's product, then IMO that is a predatory business practice the makers of paper, cd media, etc. have merely branded their product -- _you_ (unlike the makers of paper, cd media, etc.) probably don't have a product that is part of the means of production used to get a band's music from your computer to its lucky recipient ... you simply have parasitically used the music (and someone's envelope and postage) to deliver _your_ unsolicited solicitation the key here is intent (i.e., the state of mind with which an act is done) and that is a private province of everyone where no one else can truly peek -- i honestly don't think that including a set list on letterhead is a solicitation for business but it is at the top of a "slippery slope" ... i do think that including subscription material for a magazine is a solicitation for business that has no place in a bnp trade cheers, kevin _______________________________________________ etree.org etree mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mail.etree.org/mailman/listinfo/etree Need help?
