GUEST,N. Spencer morality of collecting (291* d) RE: morality of collecting 02 Jun 07


Can I add my voice to those of Diane, Steve, Captain etc? I think this goes way beyond testosterone fuelled cut 'n' thrust of quasi-intellectual debate: this is about real, living people and the music they've made. No wonder people get passionate. It's no good coming over the big fake dad and pretending that because a similar thing may have also happened 50 years ago there's nothing we can do about it and we all should stop whingeing. Additionally this whole Bulmer thing is doubly ridiculous in an era where albums can be reissued very cheaply via MP3 - cutting out the manufacturing and distribution costs that might arguably make CD reissues prohibitive. There are even download sites like Woven Wheat Whispers that specialise in folk and would do most of the work for Mr B! And they pride themselves on having an MCPS license and doing things the honourable way, in terms of recompensing the artist. In the 21st century, there's really no longer any excuse...

Best Wishes,

Nigel
