Indie label uses heartfelt note instead of copy-restriction

By at 5:03 pm Tuesday, Mar 7


An independent label is eschewing copy-restriction technology on its promo CDs in favor of a handwritten notes on a stickie reading:
Dear Recipient of Promotional CD,

Just a note to beg (if you were even thinking about it in the first place) you not to post our CD to the "internet" in any way...I know it's offensive even to bring it up, but we have our many babies to consider, and the landlord wants to reposess Donnybrook farm and the album cover art is important. Thanks for your consideration.
