Quote 1,
'to keep the record straight, my motivation in making these CDs available has nothing to do with being a businessman--if I were, I wouldn't be selling folk music CDs.'

Then don't sell the disputed CDs then - you clearly don't want to make financial gain from others misfortune, do you!

Quote 2,
'I fail to see how NOT making this music available in any way benefits Nic Jones, or anyone else.'

There is an ongoing dispute.
Selling 'those' CDRs NOW - with NO funds going to the Jones or the other affected artists, or their estates,
WILL affect sales in the future, should the situation be resolved in those artists favour, even if only in part.
Who knows, some amicable agreement may result where Bulmer, retailers - AND the artists get SOMETHING at least!
Knowing there IS a dispute - why coin anything in now if you don't really care about making financial gain?

Specifically in Nic's case - Those of us who care for Nic, knowing he cannot re-record, or perform and make a living as he could once, would rather the music was 'on hold' rather than sold NOW - making only YOU and Bulmer money, and Nic not a penny.
It seems callous to make money while you can, on the back of someone elses misfortune.

Quote 3,
'I'm addressing the anti-Bulmer jihad, now.'

A low swipe, this. Pity.
