I have to problems with the clean cut shit... my problem is here was a band that was BUILT on tape trading and people passing around bootlegs....why do you think Master made the BillBoard charts with no videos or radio play? People like me who were passing around as many copies of tapes as I could to get their names out there.....most would check it out and then go buy the album themsevels and more importantly BOUGHT TICKETS to see them play live.
Boycotting CD's means fuckall,...stop going to live shows, stop buying tshirts and merchandise...that's the way to send a message.......
I agree artists need to be compensated for their efforts...I just find it weird two of the biggest Napster anti's were Metcallica who built themselves in the early years through tapetrading and Dr. Dre who had no problems stealing other peoples' music to use in his own songs (oops, sorry, that was caled "sampling")
