I was curious as to some opinions on the subjects of CD Burning or Unauthorized Duplication. I have been in an ongoing discussion with a friend of mine on the subject. He is very much against it. I am against it on true independent releases, and for it on major label releases and artificial independent labels. In the case of my own release, I do not mind if it gets duplicated. My friend says I am crazy for thinking that way... He is also very much against audience taping. I happen to love it because it gives me a chance to hear live versions of music that will probably never see the light of day. I love it when someone tapes my music live, in fact I find it to be an honor. I am however against the sale of audience recordings. Then there is the subject of used cd's. I told him that when he bought a used cd he may as well have made an unauthorized copy...becuase the artist does not see any of the money past the initial sale of that cd. Or that when he sells used cd's to stores he may as well be selling audience tapes because he is now making money off of someone else's music. Any thoughts? I am not against selling or buying of used cd's. I just think it is an area that could use some commentary. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
