Thread Name: morality of collecting
Subject: RE: morality of collecting
I agree Dick. The recordings of today are tomorrow's resource. As tradition carriers it's important that we just keep bashing on. In the long run, the stuff will not be lost as it's spread all over the world on vinyl and culturally, it's the content that's important. The accessibility and morality things are a vital but separate issue.


In the short term, some people not a million miles from me have discussed re-recording their albums. Others have apparently already done it.

Where this is not feasible (for a variety of reasons including death!), that's where the focus of this struggle should lie.
