Seriously, I think there is some merit to the arguments of archival copies verses illegal distribution copies. I also think there is something to the distribution for airplay, like on radio stations, and the benefits of the free advertising it brings. That's a different matter than setting up a pirate record label and selling stolen stuff.

But I'm with you on the idea. I'm not mister morality or anything, but I do see some BS on the messageboards that I can do without. What I'd like to remind people here is that when a guy shills his stuff on internet messageboards, it is unfair competition against the one who doesn't. When a place is run amok with sockpuppets, it's not only an entertainment or an irritant, depending on your position.

It's fraud.
