Subject: RE: BS: BNP: What would you do?
There's an article in today's AOL news http://news.aol.co.uk/angry-note-over-bnps-music-sales/article/20090528015957141904094 . It is derived from a letter in today's Times and concerns members of the Musicians Union, who are angry about the BNP selling their records on the BNP website.

According to the article, a BNP spokesperson said, "They've already made their money haven't they? Once that music's gone through a distributor. They're politicising themselves to a high degree by doing this and we wouldn't really be concerned by that. It's up to us what we sell - we're not changing."

In other words the BNP are sticking two fingers up to to democracy, freedom and intellectual property rights; to say nothing of coherent speech. But would anyone seriously expect them to do anything different?
