A letter or e-mail to their record label is probably only going to get as far as a secretary, and it will be handed straight to the lawyers, not to Boris and Dieter. That's the unbuttered truth.
We'll be doing something illegal by the letter of the law... That is debatable; not absolute.
... but so long as it is done in a way that is morally right ... then I think we should all feel comfortable doing it. But trying to seek permission first is madness. I concur. I vote for the creation and management of an FTP server after the manner suggested by jr_bloodsworth.
And I have some rarish stuff - mostly vinyl xfers - that can be uploaded. I hope that we can expect that there will be a quality threshhold for material posted to this server. Downloading an emptythree that had underruns in the rip or was compressed with the Xing encoder at 96KBPS on someone's p133 with 24MB RAM that was meanwhile busy surfing for Britney Spears wallpapers with MSIE is not what I call worth my time. If we could just go ahead and have an agreement to adhere to a certain standard, that would be greeaaaaat. -: ghost_crab :- western united states of America "The actions of the President do not necessarily reflect the desires of the People he professes to represent"
