wrong.. there is a difference.. what if you have a stolen copy of a
film/album before the final edit, against the wishes of the director? The
artist/director loses control of their work at a point they didn't want to..
it doesn't matter if you buy the cd or not.
Some friends of mine have just released promos on cassette only, to try and
slow down the bootlegging process. Interesting because mp3 geeks will have
to decide whether they want the quality of a digital recorded file or the
content of the music...
