I'm not a big fan of "cease and desist" letters either. I see both sides of the issue, but the labels have been SO resistant to the internet and blogs in the past, and the internet just went beyond them while they stuck their heads in the sand. I don't know the answer, really. But I know for me personally, I'm more likely to go buy a CD on CD Baby or whatever, if I can hear a "taste" of what I'm buying, before I shell out that $15 for it. And in the case of major labels it seems to be more like $20 for crap I can't readily hear unless I' m in a store. So to me...they bring a lot of this on themselves. The artists deserve to be paid, no doubt, but it does seem to me that we deserve to see (hear) what we're buying in some fashion before we shell out that money that can't be returned. An old guys perspective I guess, but I think the blogs and websites have a lot to offer, to offset what the big labels have just ruined. peace dad.
