For those of you who weren't on the list last May, here's the mail I got from Greg Eden regarding the Ae mp3s that I was hosting. It's important to note that the songs I had online were unavailable (to the best of my knowledge) and that some of them weren't even on warp (the bulk of the files were remixes) I did have a lot of stuff up (230MB worth) but you know, there are a lot of Ae releases, and a lot of those are limited to rediculously small pressings. Don't bother trying the url, they're not there now (I yanked everything down the second I got the email, I'm not going to get sued over something as stupid as a compressed audio file) but I believe they might be on bleepbloop (which I have absolutely nothing to do with, by the way) Note the jab "We have discussed your actions with Sean Booth and Robbed Brown and they are both personally extremely offended." Sure they are. I bet all of the graffiti they did was on Greg Eden's house. :) .Bil. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 16:14:15 GMT From: Greg Eden <xxxx@xxxx-xxx.xxx> To: xxxx@xxxxx.xxx Subject: Autechre / Copyright infringement Dear Sir, We control the entire copyright vested in several master recordings (the "Recordings") by Sean Booth and Robert Brown (PKA Autechre).
