Of course they fucking did. Rob/Sean are in and out of Warp offices all the time. >From: Mark Kolmar <xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx> >Subject: Re: (idm) Autechre / Copyright infringement (fwd) > >Please note that WARP claims to have CONTROL over the phonorecordings as >well as the underlying compositions.

This makes sense if you're talking about some 'business deal' between a major label and an act but the Warp/Ae relationship is a hell of a lot closer than that. Rob and Steve from Warp happen to be good friends as well as business partners with Ae. Believe what you cynically like about Warp controlling everything (which legally, they do) but they will nearly always consult their artists (and especially Ae) about issues like this. >From: "kiya \"i am a copier\" babzani" <xxxxxx@xx.xxxxxx.xxx> >Subject: Re: (idm) Autechre / Copyright infringement > >and yes i know you can convert them to .wavs and burn a cd, but c'mon, how >many people have the equipement/resources to do that, or are so cheap that >they'd go through all that touble so that they wouldn't have to shell out >the 14.99 price of tri repatae (2 discs!) on cd. 2 discs in america that >is. Possibly now (and quite a few people on IDM have access to this kind of tech already - they don't have to own it - their workplace or university or whatever might have the kit) but in about 6-12 months, this could change so easily. If you could download any Ae/AFX/whoever track from the net and burn a CD or whatever on cheap media over a super-fast internet, everybody would do it. Really. It's starting now. That guy putting an MP3 player in his car - thats just the start. And naturally record labels who want to pay their artists and pay their employees (from indies to majors), as well as the artists themselves, are getting concerned about this. And to back Chris up, he *has* always been the voice of the public. || [CiM] || xxx_@xxxxxxx.xxx || - ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
