I'm subscribed to the list. I even state as much in my sig. All this extra mail is just clutter.

If they *own* the > record label, then go ahead and put the blame anywhere you like. Then the artists, if they are opposed to such measures, should seek a different label. I can't hurt the label directly without hurting the artist, too. In war the artists would be termed collateral damage. This is a war. One the RIAA and artists like Metallica started (though I will admit that bootleggers had a big hand in making it a war). I'm firing back full bore. I will not sit idly by and be treated as if I'm a criminal. --=20 Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
