No one has said anything until now. I have a lot of stuff that is "In Print" and "Out Of Print" Most of the KLF stuff on my site is "Out OF Print" Most of the 80's Industrial is "Out OF Print" SO What. People get music from me and trade with me. I put no restrictions such as the aforementioned titles. Most of the Trance is "In Print" Who Cares. IT is my private site and I will do with it as I please. RMStringer __________________________________________________ Warning: You are no longer who you were and tomorrow is now yesterday.

Yeah...I got it. "Asking" for it, even obliquely, is uncool. Being willing to host it is uncool. Indeed, the mere fact that he is apparently "archiving" them publicly is uncool...it encourages others not to patronize BadOrb, since they know they can just download them at their leisure.
I think most of the people that use his ftp server, are people on this list, and similar lists. I think that the vast majority of these people (us) are going to buy from badorb even if badorb had free mp3's of the tracks, and if we wouldn't, having the free downloads couldn't further discourage a purchase. On the other hand, I think mr stringer should buy the badorbs himself... Like bi11ie said, it was a mistake to share the "personal" mp3 files, perhaps this is the same thing that rmstringer is doing too. It's his computer, he no doubt plays the mp3s from the location that the ftp server sees, so why shouldn't he have the music that he wants to hear there? Of course again, he could go through and make all the "in-print" stuff invisible and/or otherwise block it from the FTP, but if other people can't be arsed to do this, why should he? either way you look at it, I won't be downloading any badorb stuff from his ftp, but I *will* download other stuff. He uploads stuff to my server as well, and I send stuff to him. It's a community, if you don't want to d/l then don't. _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb
