The self styled 'progressive electronic-trip rock' band Eisbecher have bundled two blank CD-Rs with each copy of their new album.

Whilst much of the record industry wants to turn back the clock so that they are the only people who can make any kind of recordings Eisbech have made a point of supporting the consumers existing legal right to fair use copies.

The recording industry needs to stop horking all the profits.. if they gave more to the artists per CD downloading would'nt be such a big deal.

If you buy a cd, isnt it ok to make a copy for your personal use? Suppose I want to keep a copy in my car, and one in my house.
