There's very little (if anything) on sale that Nic gets any royalties for. Buying the Bulmer CDRs (which aren't licensed by MCPS so production and royalty payment figures are untraceable) will not result in Nic getting anything.

Apart from that, there are some doubts cast on the quality of the copies. Treat these as bootlegs on sale at full price.

The argument in favour of free publishing of music on the net so that listeners are encouraged to buy real CD's from the artist is one that I support and believe, but it does not apply here.

Nic and Julia don't want us to buy these copies: they want the legal stuff sorted out so they get the money they are owed. Of course ther wishes are irrelevant: "GUEST: anonymous coward" knows better....

Duh.
