Post by: Jules on January 13, 2010, 06:08:56 PM
Thats an idea always comes to my mind from time to time, as I like so much the nice pressed boots, with his cover, his silver cds etc etc

I do care for good quality CDs as I do care for the music like you.
CDRs break apart after 5 or six years!!!

As for the legal question:
As long as MK and PCM say recording and spreading with no fi is OK, I don't see why jbaent's idea be illegal. It's even less of a spreading than via a tracker site or the like!!
AS LONG AS NOONE GETS GREEDY AND TRIES TO SELL THEM...!  :'(

It would be fun - I have dreamed to produced myself my own boots  ;D

But legally speaking making by a plant manufactured CD on which you do not own the rights and thus is involving money is out-law. This is different than producing by yourself your own CDs. Remember the 2008 KTGC t-shirts story.

I think [but a lawer could answer better thant me] that this is still breaking the law.

So if you only order 10 copies from the plant to share with selected friends no big deal but if you do more for sure the info will  spread and soon or later will reach PCM.

Video is already banned so no extra provocation is the better thing to do if we don't want to loose the right to record audio.

It is the distribution aspect that will be questioned. You will in effect have 'published' the recordings which is even more serious than selling them for gain.

That's why I consider every TRACKER a bigger problem than any form of discs.
And so does the recording industriy...

DAD is a perfect example that a tracker can be run without being in the focus of the recording industry as long as they stick with some rules such as respecting artist wish on sharing policy of their commercilay unreleased music.
