ESP Re-issues

Hi Folks In response to the comments re the current ESP re-issues coming out of Italy; what if any light is thrown on the matter of legality when The Wire Bible, sorry magazine, gave out a sampler to subscribers with their July issue? For that matter wither the morals of The Wire editorial team? Is it just a case of "It's legal in Italy so that's alright?" Do we know that living performers or families of deceased have been contacted? As someone (sorry!) said in the thread, its behaviour you expect from the major's, but it grinds our nads when a "worthy" indie pulls the trick! All a matter of perception I guess. Best Dave in London
