[peel] Remote Viewer Peel session

[Sheetal Singh]

What if he wanted to hear the MP3 so he could determine if he wanted to buy
it?  Is that any different than taping a song off the radio?  What if a
friend made him a copy of the 12"- would that be intellectual property theft
too?

Just wondering.

i understand what is being said here, but i don't think it is a valid 
reason to steal intellectual property. if a person enjoys some music, it is 
only fair that they pay for that enjoyment, if that is what the artist who 
created it wants. musicians have to make a living, and in the case of this 
fatcat release, it is hardly a big money spinner..

i think in this case, it would be valid to purchase a copy of the 12" and 
then ask someone to make them a CDR / MP3 copy of it, that way they have 
supported the artists and they have got the music they want to listen to. 
this may sound silly, but so does not owning a record player.

fatcat was started with funding from one little indian.. a major? i dunno. 
they are no longer a part of one little indian, although in a few months 
time they will be releasing a series of 7" singles of remixes of one little 
indian artist, 'emiliana'.. these are fantastic records.. especially the 
múm one. these will  be available FREE to download in mp3 format from their 
forthcoming web site, www.e-rmx.com .. specifically designed for people who 
don't have record players.

fatcat have just signed a deal with PIAS, on the strength of sigur ros and 
others. fatcat are very much an independent label, and for the people who 
run it.. a career.

think about it.
