well yes they need to be sure that what they carry could be sold, but I think
that besides that amount of hype or big names, they want to make sure that they
start working with a real label, one they can establish a nice, long and
fruitful collaboration with. I'm sure that throughout your years of activism you
all met many people who started their label issued some records worked them
badly and quitted after they had achieved to get recognition from their circle
of friends... We could provide tons of examples of labels done for the wrong
reasons and I guess that distros have to be careful with their choices, haven't
they ?
